Summary

This quote suggests that trying to manipulate or win over the press is a risky endeavor. Comparing it to picnicking with a tiger implies that while you may appear to be enjoying the experience, ultimately the press holds the power and benefits from it. Just like the tiger ultimately gets to eat after the meal is over, the press always gets the final say and can twist the narrative to their advantage. It emphasizes the potential danger and unpredictability of dealing with the media.
