8. Which means it's up to us to do the heavy lifting

The popular media aren't going to focus on the defendant's decline; as Les Moonves told us, the defendant is just too good for the bottom line, and as long as that goose keeps delivering golden eggs, they'll cover for him.

Which means we have to point it out. Every time. As exhausting as that is, it's got to be us who keeps in the public mind that the defendant didn't know where he was. No excuses. No, "Oh, it's easy to confuse Sioux Falls with Sioux City, anyone could do it." Do you see the defendant's flying monkeys saying anyone could stumble going up the steps on Air Force One? You do not.

And our natural reticence has to take a back seat. Too often we figure that if we say something once, everyone gets it and we don't have to say it anymore. Keep bringing up the defendant's rants and misstatements. This will cause his flying monkeys to impotently grind their teeth, and who knows - someone could very well be hearing about it for the first time.
