re: #339 Citizen K

This shit is why I find myself not grokking the ‘Dems don’t fight hard enough’ bullshit sometimes. If a tree falls in the forest, and the media refuses to cover it, did it really happen?…yes, of course it did, not that you’d fucking know about it.

I’m fully aware the MSM has a terminal case of both-sideris, just as I’m fully aware GOPers are fascist, vote-suppressing sickopaths. I’m also fully aware of how utterly unjust this is.

That being said - it still behooves the Dems to come up with a way to fight both these things to the best of their ability, and I’m still not convinced that ALL of them are doing that. Take the MSM bullshit, for example - why do the Dems have to go along with their disingenuous questions and framing? Have you noticed how GOPer spinmasters are excerpts at *pretending* to give an answer to a question, only to - within miliseconds - pivot around to their own framing and even a completely different subject?

GOPers talk about what THEY want to talk about, interview question be damned. Dems play nice and go on the defensive instead -_-

Enough of that weak tea rubbish. Analyze this video of Kellyanne Conway’s techniques, and figure out how you can use some of them as a force for good instead of evil (especially the one where she pivots from an unfavorable question to a filibuster of the points she wants to make):
