when she brought a knife to a gun fight .
I had press training last week, we were given roles at the start I was Chris Grayling and the trainer was Paxman, I had no prep and because I had nothing I was just honest and said I didn’t know etc. The result was as my peers put it “Abbott 2.0” & “you were too honest”
Then after the training when, we repeated the exercise and feedback was the message I’d been given to convey. I was able to see the traps being laid and prepared to not answer and repeat my message.
The media are a huge factor in the type of politics we have, the style of attacking and digging displayed here winds you up or discourages honesty.
