In Scomo's case good Dr it's playing the media to try & deflect as he does in question time using smoke & mirrors like the adman he is. He would have seen the headlines & played them to the audience he thinks will see him as the hero not thinking of any repercussions when he makes outlandish claims without actually doing any diligence...Just look at that performance again & tell me how you don't cringe?.......Remember the recent F up with Murdoch press & the fake sexual assault claim or is that a distant memory to all those RWNJ's?
