Like all liberals, Press plays for blood. He knows how serious political power is. He gets personal any time he feels that will help his cause. For a liberal his principles come first, and respectability be damned. Press made one conservative walk off the show by accusing him of being a hypocrite.
Press plays hardball.
All this is fair. But what I want everybody to notice is that no conservative will ever use such hardball tactics against Press. Bill Press is always against mandatory sentencing for rapists or killers. And Bill Press always says that he is in favor of gun control, but not against legitimate self-defense. This is true in New York.
