Babbin alleges those outlets are little more than an extension of the Democratic National Committee and charges that they willfully distort truth to pursue their own agenda. Babbin argues that the only way to disrupt what he sees as the 527 Media's "narrative" is for elected Republican officials to tell the "truth" about current situations (such as the conflict in Iraq) without it being passed through what he sees as the filter of the 527 Media.
