I agree it's coordinated. My narrow point with "I don't think the DNC necessarily drives the talking points" was that the DNC and the press work as a team, and sometimes the press side of that team comes up with better talking points, so the team uses the talking points that originated with its own members.

Still totally coordinated, just not originated or developed by the DNC - agreed to by the DNC for sure, the press will not run (at least not for long) with anything that the DNC waves off.

They are on the same team. When you look at the MSM and their familial ties with the Dems, it is quite instructive. And when you have Stephy, Chuck Todd, David Axelrod, etc. now operating as "journalists", the terms journalist and Dem operatives are inseparable--a distinction without a difference.

The NYT and the WP have lost all pretense of being objective. Jim Rutenberg tried to rationalize it. Trump Is Testing the Norms of Objectivity in Journalism-- If you’re a working journalist and you believe that Donald J. Trump is a demagogue playing to the nation’s worst racist and nationalistic tendencies, that he cozies up to anti-American dictators and that he would be dangerous with control of the United States nuclear codes, how the heck are you supposed to cover him?

More evidence that the journ-o-list meme is alive and working. :

"5 Years he promoted this birtherism" CBS, NBC, ABC...and others.

Donald says "bomb", so does Hilary but none show it.
