All the media outlets…including Fox News…ran headlines similar to this yesterday: Prosecutors Accuse Scott Walker of Criminal Conduct. It was completely opposite of what this case is about, with the Democrats obviously twisting it to accuse Walker, instead of the conservative group accusing the Democrat prosecutors of bringing false accusations against Walker. This was blatant yellow journalism.
Gov. Walker was on FOX this morning. He handled the whole thing very well, but after years of this he’s going to need to pull a Don Draper and “Change the conversation.” - that’s one thing this is meant to do to him - create a climate of defensiveness that never clears. The old Tar Baby scam - punch once and be engulfed. The perception creating media has never been more entangled in power politics. They will go back to this well again and again.
Conservative organizations in WI will strike back however. The crooked DA’s involved should get more than a few lessons in the cost of partisan witch hunts.
