I have been under assault by the liberal media in the United States.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was in a profession that received a lot of media.
I violated, apparently, an unspoken rule that we are supposed to take care of our own. Frankly, if that invites discomfort, I welcome it. I don't think there's enough discomfort in journalism, especially in Washington.
They have accorded me my constitutional rights, and that is to their credit because the media hate campaign against me has been so intense and so vicious that it's a miracle that the police have taken such a professional approach.
I've had to recover not only from a single well-publicized incident, but several years of press aftermath.
I am now using media as a tool to bring attention to marginalized people.
The press have given me affairs I've never had and killed a few I did have. After a while, you learn.
In 35 years of being in the media, I've had all this mud flung at me many, many times. It's not the first time. It's nothing unusual. I've been through it all before and the best way to deal with it is not to read them.
Well, what happened is that I had been the subject of vicious attacks by Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh.
I've always talked to the media. I'm pretty respectful to the media.
My children were attacked by the Minnesota media when I was governor.
