B-Man Posted December 5, 2022 Posted December 5, 2022 It’s almost comical the way the liberal media at large falls back on two narratives when confronting stories that hurt Democrats: 1. “This isn’t a story,” “nothing we didn’t know.” 2. Attack the messenger. It happened the first time around with the Hunter Biden laptop story. When The Post published stories about Hunter introducing partners and foreign agents to then-Vice President Joe, who swore up and down he “never discussed” business with his son, they either insulted us, claimed falsely it was “Russian disinformation” or bought the campaign line that these stories were “long discredited.” Now it’s happening again, after internal Twitter documents were revealed through reporter Matt Taibbi. In almost lockstep, journalists are bashing Taibbi, who has a long history of campaigning journalism and colorful prose. He’s the man who called Goldman Sachs “a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity.” The typical comment came from Ben Collins, who tweeted, “Imagine throwing it all away to do PR work for the richest person in the world. Humiliating s–t.” Which is rich considering NBC has a reputation of taking whatever the bureaucrats of the Justice Department or FBI tell them and printing it without question. Rather than focus on the relevant questions — are the documents on the laptop authentic (2020), are the Twitter messages real (2022) — reporters resort to ad hominem dismissals. https://nypost.com/2022/12/03/liberal-dose-of-denial-to-guard-dems/ 1

Hilary was/is a master of the ‘we’ve been over this already’ deflection strategy. Don’t apologize for the issue, and don’t defend your actions, just tell anyone who asks that this has already been discussed….and then just sit there. It’s brilliant, actually.

Someone brings up a bunch of concerns about a direction that was taken and it’s followed by a “we discussed this in the blah blah committee meeting” Said authoritatively enough it completely dismissed the concerns. 1

B-Man Posted December 5, 2022 Posted December 5, 2022 The Great Meltdown Is Just Beginning Townhall, by Kevin McCullough The vindication for President Donald Trump on a number of fronts is just beginning. The malign actors know it and they are angry with rage at the prospect of what it means. Losing control of the people’s House last month was bad enough. Now they have this “Twitter thing” that is not within their authoritarian control. They don’t have the free hand to tip the scale in their favor. They don’t have the ability to gaslight the nation with dishonest narrative about their political enemies. They see glimpses of the future if things proceed as they currently are—and they are very afraid. They should be. https://townhall.com/columnists/kevinmccullough/2022/12/04/the-great-meltdown-is-just-beginning-n2616707 1

Unfortunately, that only works up to a certain level in the organization. At some point in the career journey you hit a level where it’s a political liability to be too focused on facts. 1

Completely unrelated but the worst thing is "This is a great idea. I'll bring it up in the next _________ committee meeting!" Ummmm....no you won't and if you do I know for sure I'm not getting credit for it.

Ummmm....no you won't and if you do I know for sure I'm not getting credit for it. see there’s another one for which I offer a hack.. 1) don’t ever worry about credit 2) figure out who the smartest idea person 3) convince that person of your idea and have them bring it up. you might get credit, you might not, but if it’s a thing that should happen- this is the best way to make it happen
