I am VERY concerned about the truth of something, and how we look like damned fools when we spout something that is false.
Hell, I even worry about accuracy in horse-racing history when arguing there, and that’s not near as important as politics. Same reason - don’t look like fools!
When the media are reporting about us or our allies, they are going to portray it as "false", or "wrong", or "ignorant", or anything derogatory.
It is impossible to be so careful that they cannot twist it into something Ugly. Reagan could do it, but he had a rare gift, and they even got him some of the time.

Can't be helped. So long as the liberals own the microphones and cameras, they will make us look like fools or worse. Notice how they covered the Charlotte violence?
They have the power to make us look like fools or worse, and so they will. What we should be doing is discussing how to pry that power out of their hands and turn it back against them.
