The Problem With Jon Stewart (@TheProblem)
Jon interviewed Leslie Rutledge, Arkansas Attorney General, about why her state banned gender-affirming care for minors - ignoring the guidelines of major medical organizations and taking the decision out of parents’ hands. Watch the full interview on @App...
Leslie Rutledge forgot rule #1 when dealing with the style of TV Jon Stewart does:
Refuse the interview.
No matter what the Arkansas AG did, he was going to get slimed in that interview. The people behind Jon Stewart are experts in framing, and have long practice at it. They could make Jesus look evil.
Never talk to the press. This needs to be branded onto the forehead of every Republican down to the city council level.
I think it was one of the TRP guys who secretly recorded himself when he went on the Samantha Bee show, and had a full breakdown of how they maliciously edit and lead to make a piece by comparing the aired portion vs his.
Which showed that no matter how good your answers, how easily you dismantle them, or how stupid they look they will manage to make the show portion their victory and ruin your image.
Yep, exactly.
You don't need their exposure to get your PoV out, now, ergo there is zero reason to talk to them.
