Ah, yes. Be the victim. The "media" and their "gotcha" questions.

I'd be curious to see if there's anybody that Yogi doesn't stick up for except his own side.

Yes, playing victim is usually worse than finding a way to deal with the problem.

But I must say, if you haven't managed to notice a difference in the way the media treats D's and R's yet, you've got real problems.

Yes, the media is clearly in the tank for the Communists - and that there is any such thing as a Communist in this country, without being immediately ridiculed/publicly shamed, is a black eye for our nation - but, anyone who can't handle a dancing monkey, idiotic enough to profess a love of Lenin, while being paid millions, he's not up to the job.

There are no victims. Everyone gets what he deserves. Everyone. Right? ;)

Being the victim works well for certain segments of liberal society. Some conservative folks figure "why not co-opt their playbook and be a victim too?"

I would say not calling out "do you still beat your wife" questions for what they are is being a victim. In situation like this, the important part is to not answer the questions as is, it is to address the assumptions behind them.

If you do it right, it makes all of the difference in the world. If you just whine, you are a victim - meh.

1988 campaign - GWHB won because he fought back in a nasty interview with Dan Rather while Dole just whined about "stop lying about my record".

If a lame idjit like Bush can pull it off, it can't be but so tough.

I saw a video of Cruz reworking the "beat your wife" question very well on climate change. I like him.

Grandpa always said that the easiest way to lie to someone is to tell them the truth, just don't tell them all of it. The MSM has that one down pat, I'd say.
