The Power of the Analogy

Say what you will about Piers Morgan and his politics, but the man knows how to use an analogy to effectively demonstrate a point. Just watch this clip of him being interviewed by Matt Lauer.

The analogy comes about midway in when he tries to explain why his campaign for more gun control in the U.S. eventually led to him being fired by CNN.

In all of our Media Trainings, we tell participants how stories, examples and analogies are great ways to help explain your key points and also a great way to help the public/viewer/reader comprehend difficult materials.
