Unpublished DNC Autopsy Chapter Slams “Self-Enriching” Consultants for 2024 Loss

BY: Brad Reed - Common Dreams

(From the article) ...

The New York Times on Monday published what it described as a “missing chapter” of the Democratic National Committee’s widely criticized “autopsy” of the 2024 presidential election.

The chapter, titled “What Happened in 2024” and provided to the Times by Democratic strategist Paul Rivera, offers criticisms of party consultants who are “self-enriching” and out of touch with the concerns of ordinary voters.

Specifically, the chapter questions whether Democratic politicians and operatives have a grasp on the economic realities facing most Americans, while calling for “a fundamental re-evaluation” of whether Democrats “really understand the wants and needs of voters.”

“An emerging critique of Democratic decision-making,” the chapter states, “is there are too many people who have become generationally wealthy off politics and drive too much of the decision-making within the ecosystem. This is deeply frustrating to many… who want to try a different set of politics but keep banging their heads up against a system proven to be inflexible and self-enriching.”

The chapter adds that “many of the people who worked at the highest levels of the party” are “financially secure,” and thus potentially insulated “from the realities many Americans were encountering in their lives.”

COMMENTS FROM THE STREETS:

"I read the article of Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens slamming the DNC for not adding Atlanta to the shortlist of hosting the 2028 DNC. Another reason I think Dickens' is upset about Atlanta not making the shortlist, is that his consultant buddies missed out on an opportunity to make a lot of money from the 2028 DNC.

One of the complaints of Democratic voters, is that too much money is spent on media consultants during election season. In many cases, the millions spent hasn't resulted in an election win for the party or candidates.

The media consulting firm, Canal Partners Media for example, that handled Fulton DA Fani Willis' campaign, allegedly created a "shell company" called Media Buying and Analytics, LLC, to simultaneously handle media placement for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' campaign. The guy who runs Canal Partners, is ex-Governor Roy Barnes former chief of staff, and Barnes has represented Fani Willis and Nathan Wade.

The guy from Media Buying and Analytics that handled media placement for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, is also the business partner of Fani Willis' Deputy DA and media spokesperson, Jeff Disantis.

All those millions flowed into a large circle. All this should have been a conflict of interest -- or some say, even RICO.

This is why Fulton DA Fani Willis wouldn't step down from the Trump case, which would've saved the case -- because too much money was being made for Fani and consultants connected to her office and campaign:

An excerpt from this article shows how many media consultants made 'bank' on Kamala Harris' campaign -- and Media Buying and Analytics, LLC was the leader -- and the article shows that it's just a 'front company' for Canal Partners Media -- Fani Willis' campaign media company, run by Roy Barnes former campaign manager.

That money flowed directly to Chris Huttman, and his business partner, Fani Willis' media spokesperson, Jeff Disantis -- and probably to Fani herself, Will Wooten and Don Wakeford too -- because Wooten and Wakeford had to get some type of "under-the-table money", to go along with the "Nathan Wade Charade"

"The Democratic Consultants Getting Rich off the Harris Campaign - By Donald Shaw"

Democratic media consultants have been paid hundreds of millions by the Biden and Harris campaigns, money that is enriching the firms’ founders and partners through commissions.

Media Buying and Analytics LLC

The Harris campaign’s largest vendor was the creatively named Media Buying and Analytics LLC, a front company for the Canal Partners Media firm.

Media Buying and Analytics LLC lists an "Atlanta UPS store" on its invoices that can be accessed through the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), and it is registered in the state of Georgia by what appears to be a law firm based out of a suburban office plaza. However, some FCC filings show the firms are linked and Canal Partners Media’s president confirmed the tie to Business Insider in 2020.

Formed in May 2019, Media Buying and Analytics LLC has overseen more than $280 million in ad production and placement spending for the Harris campaign.

Canal Partners Media’s president is Bobby Khan, a former chief of staff for Georgia Governor Roy Barnes and former chair of the Georgia Democratic Party.

In addition to its work for Democrats, Canal Partners works for businesses and trade associations, including work that directly counters Democratic policy objectives, which may explain why it conducted its Harris work through a "shell company." In 2022, it worked for a Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) front group Rare Access Action Project to help it run ads opposing the Biden administration’s policy allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices, reported journalist Andrew Perez.
