1. Acknowledge the Press Has a Narrative
In May 2020, when the Covid-panicked media’s predictions about Florida’s Covid response were already being proven wrong, DeSantis didn’t just call out their lies, he pointed to their motivation for lying.
2. Don’t Call Media ‘Mainstream,’ Call Them What They Are
The more partisan the big names in media like The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, and their ilk become, the more inaccurate it is to call them “mainstream.”
3. You Catch More Flies With Wit than Boring Press Releases
DeSantis took notes from former President Donald Trump’s penchant for cutting through forgettable politician-speak and leaning into one-liners and comebacks. A witty line will help people remember what you said, and that’s not limited to media interactions.
4. Don’t Take the Bait to Fight Your Friends Harder than Your Enemies
The corporate media loves it when Republicans go after each other, whether it’s NeverTrumpers piling on criticism of the former president,
5. Don’t Be Cowed by Ad Hominem Attacks
Last April, CBS’s “60 Minutes” ginned up a fake scandal about DeSantis, smearing him for using the ubiquitous Florida grocery store Publix to help distribute Covid vaccines. Instead of being intimidated by the smear, DeSantis hit back.
6. Quit Trying to Make the Corrupt Media Like You
If the corrupt press will make up scandals about you, they’re not going to be your BFF

There are two more. Post them.
7. Don’t Waste Energy on Issues The Press Says Matter That Actually Don’t
The corporate media and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s sham committee love to talk about the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, because it’s one of the few talking points that doesn’t make them look terrible. Republicans shouldn’t let themselves be sucked into wasting airtime tongue-wagging about an issue that most normal Americans are ready to stop talking about.
When asked about Jan. 6 on the event’s one-year anniversary, DeSantis predicted the commemorations from Democrats and their media allies were “going to end up being a politicized Charlie Foxtrot today.”
“There is an obsession with this amongst the D.C., New York journalist class and again I think it’s because it allows them to spin a narrative that they want to spin,” he added, and took the opportunity to pivot to issues more relevant to voters. “People here in Florida, they care about inflation and they care about gas prices and education and crime.”
8. Just Stop Trusting The Corrupt Press, for Pete’s Sake
From fawning over disgraced New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to saying Joe Biden would be an “adult in the room” about foreign policy to insisting Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Russian plant, the corporate press has been pants-on-fire wrong time and time again. They’ve lost all credibility and Republicans should stop lending it to them.
“The message is for people out there is unless you’re a partisan leftist, do not trust corporate media,” DeSantis said in June. “Can’t trust them, they’re not trustworthy. They will lie.”
Is the Federalist on the excerpt list here?
Good article.
Nope.
Thanks. These are good.
4 is the one that needs discussion.
Damned Straight Ping!
The way of Trump , DeSantis, and Mark Levin.
Watch them and learn.
Does this apply to the Nonsense Brandon Chants (NBC) network and their peacock logo?
Yeah, the source article lays it out very well. If the few conservatives in the GOP all followed these methods, the narrative would change greatly.
I think so too.
DeSantis just signed the so-called ‘don’s say gay’ bill - outlawing teachers from teaching sexual identity and gender issue to 5 year olds.
Liberals freaked.
The corporate media loves it when Republicans go after each other, whether it’s NeverTrumpers piling on criticism of the former president,
Ron DeSantis is living proof that the propaganda machine can be defeated, thoroughly and consistently, if one has enough intelligence and fortitude. God bless the man.
Yeah, the libtards are in a state of extreme butthurt over this legislative defeat of their evil attempts at brainwashing children. Relish in their pain; they deserve every ounce of it, and it's a sign that good things are happening.
#4 is nothing more than fighting the devide and conquer tactic.
