The most important political fight right now is over who gets to claim to the Beltway's most sacred piece of real estate: the Fake Center.

Command of the Fake Center means unlimited access to the media spotlight b/c your motives are unimpeachable & your policies are the best.
And how will people be persuaded that the motives of Fake Centrist are unimpeachable & their policies are the best?

Because Fake Centrist will have unlimited access to the media to repeat that mantra over and over and over again.

Circle of Beltway media life.
Which is why this week's Pro Left Podcast (ep. 577) is focused on who gets to define "The Center".
