First of all, I am new to the wonderful world of politics. I have currently enrolled in a political science course in college and I am at a loss. I have a discussion on Machiavelli's philosophy on "The Lion and the Fox" political tactic. I have read the material and I understand it somewhat. The problem I am having is relating it to modern politics. Can someone shed some light on something current that uses this tactic, so I can do more research. Thanks

You can talk about how politicians navigate the media. They have to be lions who avoid the traps of trick questions, and they have to be foxes who avoid the wolves of intimidation.

actually, that's backwards... fox avoids traps, lions avoid intimidation...
