Amateur Hour Continues


Mulvaney is an extreme example of why you never talk to the press, and why you absolutely never send a lightweight to spar with the press. They put words in his mouth, and he absolutely fell for it; that was painful to watch. The press drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. The nuclear industry learned the hard way; you write a carefully written press release (structured so that there is one and only one way to interpret it) and make it public. Even at that, the press will "misinterpret" and get it all wrong in a most sensational way.

No one put words in his mouth or misinterpreted them. The level of intellectual gymnastics you engage in to maintain your safe space delusion must leave you exhausted.
