The press is like a dog that has just crapped on your rug. You have to drag it back to the turd, pissing all of the way, and then rub it's nose in it to teach it a lesson. Only THEN can it learn.

I have a similar analogy. The Democrats are like the OWNER of a dog on a leash. As they approach each cause (lawn)- and then make a total disaster of it (a real steamer) - they look up and away, refusing to address it even as you stare at them ("That's in the past, man"). They then stroll over to befoul another area.

The press, like the dog, are idiots on a leash. They don't know any better. It is the owner that needs to have his nose mashed into the messes they leave.

"It is the owner that needs to have his nose mashed into the messes they leave."

How very true!

As I explained to my children, and now my grandchildren. The dogs are just "dumb" animals. They must be cared for by us, and they are our responsibility.

They [children] understand after a while that you don't mean the dogs are stupid. ;)
