I watched three interviews by Miller on the Sunday shows.
He was better than anybody else I’ve seen from this White House save Trump himself.
He was a machine gun against pistols.
It will be worth your while to watch him after work.

He knows his stuff, but he comes off as a wooden-faced automaton reading from a script. After five minutes, I was ready to doze off.

These questions and answers are clearly scripted from the Democrat playbook set up many years ago and using the same tactics and the same words. very few people push back as well as Miller did in the video.

I used to plead on a regular basis with certain Republican communicators to fight back tooth and nail with the mainstream media when through commission or omission, they purposely twisted conservative or Republican policy, words, or actions to put them in the worst light possible for the American voters.

And if had been done back then when there were more Reagan type voters the liberal MSM would not be half as strong as it is today

And George Stephanopoulos has no guts.

But he does have a lot of gall.

"he was reading off a teleprompter most of the time"

He sure was. How does he do that in a live interview? Someone queuing up the scripts for him based on Stephawhatever's questions?

I prefer Blood-Eagling someone to eviscerating them

Eviscerate is a stupid and non applicable term to this interview. Stephanopoulos is a tough interviewer with the hide of a rhino. Being thick skinned and impervious to criticism is a requirement for being a talking head. Miller did well in stating policy clearly, BUT he appeared mechanical, expressionless and reactive. We have simply got to get it through our heads that the MSM talking heads are the freaking enemy and they deserve nothing but contempt, satire, irony, mockery, humor. Job 1 for any of us being interviewed is to question the legitimacy of the interviewer’s question by preceeding any comment of the substance of the question with an analysis of the question itself, the reasons it is being asked, it’s legitimacy as topical, its undercurrent of carping bias, its habituality, its banality and suggest a better way the question could have been asked The objective is to do what Trump so masterfully does- ATTACK the questioner and the question, delegitimize his techniques attack the ethics of the question, Say straight up in his face “that’s a stupid question” and then “for the following reasons” and enumerate them until the interviewer’s head explodes. Never be on the defensive in an interview, but also don’t express an angry face. Be smiley, superior, professorial, chiding, mocking but never angry. Make the interviewer angry and mention that he seems a little angry or flutered as you answer his quesiont. Be able to talk over his interruptions or bring attention to the fact that being interrupted is bigoted journalism, an attempt at stage managing sound bite. The overarching objective here is to make the MSM news AFRAID to interview Trump’s people because they will get a shovel upside the head every time. ATTACK.
