Trump knew how to handle and piss off the liberal fake media and it drove them f'n crazy.
Sure. But it did not win him any votes. Remember, he lost the next election. The media loved him before he got elected and he got much free advertising out of them. His fights with them afterwards did NOT move his agenda forward.
Pissing off the media is fun, but self-harming. You have to learn how to neurtralize them. Harper is a better example there.
Try and make them look like fake news.
That's largely a losing game. You can do that a bit but you can't out-propaganda the media, it's literally what they are on this earth to do.
When one stands up for conservative values, and not afraid to mention those values, the liberal media will try and mock and attack anyone who tries to do so.
They are piranha, and if they smell blood during an election they will attack en masse. They smelled blood the moment he waffled and flip flopped on guns, and he had nothing in his plans to deal with them. They'll do that to any politician btw during an election - remember dion.
When the media tries to make it appear as though conservatives are racist, well then fire back and ask them as to what proof they have of this accusation
That's playing into their game. Never engage. The better choice is to divert - "There is no question about it , the Conservative party is not racist, The real question here is why aren't you calling the liberals out on their racism, such as when they 'example example'. " ANd honestly PP is a master of that, we've seen that again and again.
That is what the conservatives have been doing for decades. Kissing the liberal; media's butt.
Hogwash. Harper certainly didn't. He was sidestepping the media long before trump made it popular. But he didn't confront - he deftly sidestepped and still got his message out.
PP has done a very good job of going around the media to get his message out there. But at the end of the day - you have to learn how to make the mainstream media work for you. You CANNOT ignore them, certainly not entirely. They are what the people listen to. You MUST use that platform even if you have other methods.
That's the art here - avoiding the media, going around the media and still managing to use the media. It takes an absolute master, and PP is pretty good so it'll be fun to watch.
IF you want to take a step back further, the real problem is Conservatives don't cheat enough. Previous liberals tended to stock the judges with 'friendlies". Harper came up with a very reasonable and non partisan method to appoint judges that weeded out a lot of that nonsense and made it fair, rather than do the same thing. Trudeau got in, tossed that out in one second, and went back to the cronyism of the past.
