I'm not arguing that he should have been retained. In fact, for his sake, I'm glad he's getting a break. No, he's not the type we need in that role.
I simply meant to say that he displayed a lot of class and didn't diminish himself in my eyes with his behavior.
I believe the GOP needs to hit back hard against the media all the time. The public likes it and it's illuminating.
In fact, the press secretary should start a few press conferences by reading something in the papers and then showing how it's false. Start press conferences on the offensive when the public's attention is sharp.
Prosecute CBS for conspiring with the Dem party in the Texas Air National Guard case. Prosecute the Washington Post and the Maryland Dems for conspiring against Erlich's administration.
The media has a lot of First Amendment protections but not for conspiracy to break laws.
"In fact, the press secretary should start a few press conferences by reading something in the papers and then showing how it's false. Start press conferences on the offensive when the public's attention is sharp."
I like this idea, but I have another idea. Have the press secretary read an old story put out by a media source and a contradictory story by the same media. Like all the stories during Clinton's admin of how bad Saddam was, and the same publishers stories of how good Saddam is now.
I agree that the press conferences should start off with this.
