HelluvaHoax!
Platinum Meritorious Sponsor with bells on
Saw this REPORTER TR's on another great thread by Carmel but didn't want to dilute that important discussion.
It is plenty crazy enough to deserve a thread. It explains so much about what Scientology spokespersons THINK they are doing on TV or Radio.
When Tommy Davis starts screaming profanity laced invective at St. Pete Times reporters, for example, he is demonstrating how he "passed the drill" hours earlier. Take a win, Tommy and all other of Scientology's other professional liars! Take a win... and then take a break and try to find any tiny shred of sanity in your life and, if possible, water it regularly and pray it grows.

1. Answering non loaded questions
Purpose: To train a PRO to answer such questions with
confidence and simplicity, as are often asked by reporters.
EG., What is Scientology (R)? What's Clear, OT? How does
an E-Meter work?
Method: The PRO and 'reporter' sit across a table facing
each other. The 'reporter' asks the questions and the PRO
must answer, without a long communication lag and in a
way which readily communicates to the reporter. The drill
is coached as in the TRs.
The drill is passed when the PRO is confident he can answer
the basic questions asked about Scientology.
2. No Answer
Purpose: To train a PRO to give a 'no answer' to questions
he has no wish to answer directly.
Method: To begin with the reporter reading the questions
asked LRH by 'The Sun' reporter Victor Chapple - and the
PRO reads LRH's answers. This is just to accustom him to
the idea of 'no answer'.
Then using different questions, the PRO gives 'no answers'.
The trick is to appear to answer the question by giving
generalized statements in simple terms so that the reporter
doesn't realize his question hasn't been answered.
The PRO should be completely causative over the
communication and end it with certainty, so that the reporter
gets this and goes on to the next question.
3. Non sequitur events
Purpose: To enable a PRO to practice getting his "message"
across and tag it on to any current event. Also a preparation
for the day when our PROs will be asked to comment on
current events.
Method: One person has a newspaper in front of him and reads
out a headline (and perhaps a line or two of the story if
necessary for the PRO's understanding of it). Ask the PRO
what comment he would like to make on it. The PRO should
comment briefly and lead from this into his message.
The drill is passed when the PRO can tack a message on to
virtually any event, smoothly and with reality.
4. Handling a suppressive T.V. interviewer
Purpose: To train a PRO to get his message across in spite
of the 'interviewer', in the few short minutes usually available
on television. This is so that .... million people have no
doubts after the programme what the Scientologist stands
for and what he is against.
Method: The PRO and interviewer face each other and the
interviewer asks questions. The PRO attaches his message
in varying forms to as many answers as possible. If the
interviewer is SP he must be introverted as in the hat write
up, and then the PRO has his "say". The interview has been
successful when the PRO has got his message across to his
satisfaction.
5. Handling an SP
a) By overwhelm
Purpose: To train a PRO to be able to establish Ethics
presence over an SP reporter if the occasion arises, by
such things as shouting, banging, pointing, swearing. To
do this completely causatively until the poor reporter is
'caved in'.
Method: The reporter and PRO sit across a table facing
each other and the reporter asks SP questions. The PRO
overwhelms without judgement in answer to the SP question
until he does it with reality, causativeness and the
overwhelm really reaches the reporter. TR 1 is a part of this
drill - there is no point saying the words if they don't reach
the other guy.
b) By being knowingly covertly hostile
Purpose: To train the PRO to handle an SP reporter by word
alone without the use of force as in (a). He uses the word
as a rapier and plunges it in at the reporter, so that the
reporter introverts and drops the question.
Method: The PRO and reporter sit across a table and the
reporter asks SP type questions.
The PRO observes what would be a button in relation to the
question asked and throws this back with good TR 1 so that
it reaches home. If the reporter is introverted the PRO is
successful. If the reporter persists with the same question
the PRO should not re-press the same button - it obviously
didn't work. He should drop it and use another one. If the
PRO cannot think of a snide reply the reporter should just
say "flunk, you haven't handled me. Start" - or some such
remark - but should not tell the PRO what to say. When the
confusion has come off the PRO will be able to handle and
have a big win.
The drill is completed when the PRO is willing to create a
cave in with an accurate snide remark, question or statement.
c) By stalling for time
Purpose: To train a PRO to maintain his confront and
composure when given some SP sensational news by a
reporter, of which he has no prior knowledge.
Method: The reporter asks the PRO for his comments on
an entheta situation involving a Scientologist.
The PRO maintains his ethics presence and duplicates the
reporter's nasty angle to his satisfaction. He then stalls for
time and gets the reporter to wait a few minutes or hours
or so (whatever is necessary) while he checks his facts.
The drill is passed when the PRO is confident that he could
not be taken off guard by a reporter by being presented
by an unknown situation.
d) By handling the reporter in front of you (verbal Karate)
Purpose: To train a PRO to handle the reporter in front of
him, with judgement in present time.
Method: The PRO and the reporter sit across a table facing
each other. The PRO is asked a miscellany of questions. If
it is a genuine question, he can answer it, if possible tacking
his message on to the reply. If the question puts him the
least bit at effect, he takes this flow and turns it towards
the reporter with an even greater velocity. He does this either
by a snide remark, question or comment, or by physical
overwhelm, whichever seems the right action to establish
ethics presence.
He should never allow himself to be put at effect, and should
not tolerate it even for an instant, but immediately attack back.
The drill is passed when the PRO no longer uses a machine
or method to handle the reporter - but he is totally there,
confident and handling.
Comment If your student experiences difficulty on these TRs
one of two things are out: a) Scientology TRs 0 - IV are not
flat or b) he slipped through a previous Reporter TR without
a weakness or button on him being found and flattened.
History These drills have been evolved by PRO WW to train
anyone on a gradient scale to handle any situation a reporter
could pose. They are based on the HCOP/L 3.2.69 Public
Image which states "Don't defend Scn, attack bad conditions
and bad hats!"
