Sorry please explain. Do you mean he made her shut up?
No. The journalist let Trump get away with not answer answering.
Well you can’t be a combative journalist. If they refuse, what can you do?
It’s not “combat” to press a walking bag of shit to answer a question. If they refuse to answer, you just keep asking so they look like the massive piece of shit that they are for refusing.
That’s what a responsible journalist would do. But this shit journalist refused to do their job.
Sorry but that’s the fast track to being banned and never being allowed to ask a question again. Freedom of the Press doesn’t mean freedom of access to politicians.
Until the press dont need paycheques you arent wrong for saying this fact.
Heres 1 updoot
Thank you. It’s odd that people are stuck on this “yeah you should call them a liar to their face” thing.
I find it easy to understand, its been mentioned before. Jon Stewart faced the same criticism when he appeared on crossfire and gave an absolute amazing appearance.
Its sad that his comedy show was a better news show than the news shows were. And still are amazingly.
But he did make the same argument, you are a news show and call yourselves journalists, why arent you holding your guests accountable by asking them tough questions.
Tucker Carlson responded with much the same answer you gave, because then guests wont talk to us or come on our show.
It sucks that politicians arent made to answer for their actions but there is no mechanism to do so. Not directly as in an interview, and voting them out doesnt seem to work either so there is essentially no way to hold their feet to the fire
