For several years now, I've been wanting electoral Republicans to take a confrontational approach to the media. Meaning:
1. Don't be afraid of them. Never pander to them.
2. Firmly take issue with them when they're out of line
3. Make fun of their bias when it's exposed.
So far, Christie seems the only one who's recognized how to deal with them.
The fact of the matter is a.) Republicans will never be able to neutralize the media -- much less make them allies (are you listening John McCain?) and b.) the alternative media now provides them with a channel that will actually root for them in media confrontations. It's what we want to hear.
Polls indicate that the journalism profession is held in even less repute than the legal profession -- or politicians. And even the moderate/independents recognize that the press has an agenda. How can a Republican lose in this environment...unless they curl up like an armadillo?
From your keyboard to our Representatives mouths!
