“..Why should I submit myself to a line of questioning that a liberal Democrat is never subjected to?..”
Another approach would be to go on the offensive against the “journalist” that is prejudiced e.g. AmanPOOR’s questioning of McConnell (or was it Boehner). example:
“I notice that you seem to have a certain antagonistic tone toward the views of our party that I have not noticed in your questioning of ———. That approach enforces the belief of a majority of the American people that much of the media, your network included, is in bed with the Democrats. Now that I’ve said that, I will answer your question.”
Would that torque their jaws or not? It would be a stand up and cheer moment. Of course, the interviewee would need to have super clean shorts, because the libtard media would be in his garbage can, etc. in a concerted effort to dirty him up. Agnew learned that. Remember “An effete corps of impudent snobs”? Still applies today!
I would pay and donate to see a attitude like that, well planned and well executed.
