Cohn, Tyrnauer said, “understood that the press is trained to report accurately what you say. So as long as you have access to the reporters, they will print your point of view, and if you can get that point of view near the top of the article, generally your opinion in the first few paragraphs, or in the first sentences the newsman speaks on TV; through that tactic he succeeded in getting all the attention he could ever hope for and usually came out ahead.”

The headline is a mid-item paragraph from Strib's published, "Rash Report: A film about Roy Cohn, but also about Donald Trump."

Read the item. Try to find the film playing in your town, and go see it. Information is always useful in understanding the present from what happened in the past. Trump's handling of the press seems to fit the above headline synopsis.
