What do all these names have in common? Adams, Harrisons, Roosevelt, Bush, Taft, Kennedy, Cuomo, Romney, Rockefeller, Huckabee. These are just the big , well-known, household names in politics. Follow down the rabbit hole and you’ll find most politicians had some sort of help. Maybe their dad wasn’t a Kennedy or a Cuomo, but they were an elected politician or ran in the political circle .Which means lots of help with networking connections, fundraising…And that’s everything in politics.But it’s not just elected officials and political parties that are chock full of nepo babies. It’s also the media. The fourth estate is pretty weak when it comes to getting honest, real, unprivileged people in those positions. Ever wonder why the media can’t hold elected politicians accountable? And while this nepotism is on both sides of the aisle, I’m going to focus on the right wing… because that’s the side telling you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.***Thanks for listening to Overnight Opinions, a recurring news show on topics the mainstream media isn’t telling you.
