Do you know the expression "Speaking to Buncombe"? If not, it might be worth looking up.
Also, do you know anyone who watches Congress on C-SPAN? I live in Washington, DC, which is full of the politically obsessed--there are at least two lobbyists on my block--and I have never since the beginning of C-SPAN heard anyone refer to anything heard on C-SPAN.
- timoth3y 1y ago> I have never since the beginning of C-SPAN heard anyone refer to anything heard on C-SPAN. Correct. They hear it on Fox or MSNBC. Fox, MSNBC, and social media teams mine C-SPAN for clips. Newt Gingrich understand the power of this very early on. He famously made several impassioned speeches to an empty house. He knew exactly who he was talking to.
