    Remember that

    • Unless your a professional communicator, talking to media is always dangerous. They can totally change what you say using “editing”, and loaded question can quickly trap you. There is a reason why there is so many job in communication and media assistant, you don’t want to let people talk unsupervised

    • Honestly, if only a sub reddit keeps a political movement alive, it isn’t a political movement

      To expand on the point about editing for anyone who assumes that is only means taking things out of context, editing can also be rearranging the order of communication to change the meaning as well as introducing context prior to the interaction that changes the meaning.

      Fox News is known for doing all of that.

      This is probably the real reason why politicians never actually say “yes” or “no”! Haha

      Wtf is a “professional communicator”? How do you think you get there?

      They just needed someone who wasn’t really weird, and had a proper job. Look at Mick Lynch’s interviews in the UK for example - he did great work for the union.

        Lynch is a professional communicator, surely? His job is literally to represent the interests of the members of the union. And he’s very good at it.
