NEWS YOU CAN USE from Kurt Schlichter, on What Conservatives Need To Know Before They Go On Mainstream Media Outlets:
Sometimes the host is going to be hostile to you, though the bookers and behind the scene staff are always very nice. That’s OK – your host is almost certain to be a liberal and does not want you to be able to get out your message if it is not what he’s looking for. Many feel that coherent, capable conservative commentators have to be disrupted, confused or cut off before they can make their points. But you can’t back down. You’re under no moral obligation to agree with the host just because you’re a guest. If you think he’s wrong, tell him. He might not like it, but he’ll like the attention the hit gets on the web afterwards.
No matter how well a conservative does, you’re going to get every commie, pinko, and left-wing loser in sight saying that you were incoherent, deranged and/or embarrassing. Ignore them. Their vitriol is your measuring stick in assessing how well you did. The angrier they are, the better your hit.
Remember, there’s no hypocrisy in going on the mainstream media to make our case. They need us, and we need their podium to get our ideas out. But understand that you’re at cross purposes. What they want from you is either ratings or help taking down a Republican. Your goal is to be an articulate, interesting advocate for conservative views. Get out into that alley and start preaching.
Speaking of which, “A week after he cut the mic of conservative guest Kurt Schlichter for bringing up Bill Clinton’s history of sexual misconduct, CNN’s Don Lemon found himself trying to shut down another guest” on Monday. Instead, Hugh Hewitt “Schools Lemon on Need for Trump, GOP to Educate Millenials on Bill Clinton Sex Scandals.”
