Report: Democrats, Supported By Clinton White House, Trained Thousands Of Operatives To Infiltrate Radio Talk Shows

A new report states that the Democratic Party, supported by the Bill Clinton White House, launched an effort prior to the 1996 election to inundate radio talk shows with thousands of callers who posed as ordinary listeners but in reality were operatives who pushed the Democrats’ talking points.

The Washington Free Beacon’s Yuichrio Kakutani, in a comprehensive report, notes that evidence of the Democrats’ secret plan, titled the Talk Radio Initiative (TRI), was gleaned from documents from the Clinton Presidential Library. The plan was triggered by the overwhelming victory the GOP won in the 1994 congressional elections, gaining control of the House of Representatives for the first time since 1954. An internal report by the Democratic National Committee stated of the plans for TRI, “Democrats have largely ignored talk radio, and only since the last election, have we paid attention to how we can win back the airwaves and the discussion. We have now put our frustration into action.”
