These guys are manipulative and dishonest. But their shows reach people who otherwise won't see our candidates except in selected/curated clips/quotes. So the candidate needs to know what they are doing, and how to manage the host. They all have their patterns of behavior, which can be prepared for to some degree.

Not doing so is asking for trouble.
