Have you noticed how Republicans take over (previously respected) organizations and turn them into FOX-lite "news" sources? They took over the venerable conservative Chamber of Commerce and now one of its directors is under indictment with regard to coal mine deaths. They're apparently in the process of taking over NBC News. The ouster of David Gregory from Meet The Press (MTP) was apparently in part because Comcast (a separate cable service) wanted to use MTP as a lobbying arm for Conservative causes. Rupert Murdoch who owned FOX also bought the Wall Street Journal. There has hardly been a more revered conservative financial paper and now it can't be trusted to cover the bottom of the cat's box.
North Korea may say scary things and they are a nation which has a military and at least one nuclear bomb, but the Republicans are an invading army and they're among us.
Their latest effort is to replace Doug Elmendorf (I'm sure you all know that name, right) as head of the Congressional Budget Office. His offense? They don't like the numbers his non-partisan office puts out which show Obamacare saves money and that tax cuts for the rich don't boost the economy. Yep. They don't like him being honest.
Beware of invading Conservatives. Don't let them hide under your Christmas tree or they'll undermine it with broken toys & candy canes.
