Screw it, I have to stand up here and make a point:
We are dealing with a cult leader i.e., a control freak, in DM. This is the bottom line.
His classic response to virtually everything, is to use his journalistic skills to manage each PR crisis that comes along and to counter attack.
Typically this includes naming his critics publicly, discrediting the critic by negative information, downplaying any evidence collected, ad hominem, etc. Classic $cientology stuff, "fair game."
But now he has an opportunity to be back in control. To manipulate to get sympathy and information. They fall for it. They think they are being fair, ethical, humane, etc.
but they are being manipulated.DM will then use any information, believing he has it all (which he hasn't) to maintain, "the rebels" don't have anything on him, it was all bluff, etc, etc.
The attention has come off DM, to people feeling sorry for him and his family. AGAIN.
He will come out winning the propaganda war.
Don't fall for the "pity play."
