Absolutely true! But not everyone plays the game and you have to deal with that. How you deal with it is a reflection of mental, emotional and spiritual maturity and others will overlay their concepts of fair judgment on that. Fairly or not.

You have to evaluate your own reactions to “unfair” circumstances by what you want out of yourself. Is “winning” the situation going to serve you best or are there other standards you want to apply to yourself?

IMO, when Kelly continued on with an argument with Trump after his flippant answer about Rosie to her opening irrelevant question was over the top...Instead of “moderating the discussion, she became an interrogator with her grilling of Trump..She evidently did not understand the purpose of a moderator or just decided to forgo any pretense of that assignment...
IMO, she was extremely shameful....

But this is the point at issue. Others do twist or manipulate the generally accepted rules of fairness for advantage, or their own selfish gain, or to advance a particular agenda. This is a sad reflection on their own level of mental, emotional and spiritual maturity, but here we are more concerned about the effect of these actions.

Personally, I can deal with it. There are far more important things than "winning" these kinds of arguments. As far as I am concerned it is the nature of the forces we fight - but unfortunately, my own personal reaction is not the only thing affected. The kind of questioning we commonly see now biases political thinking, belittles Human dignity, trivialises serious issues, and, ultimately, discredits the entire political process. That is affecting other people, specifically the entire body politic, and for that reason, if nothing else, it should be opposed.
