Salome said:if a journalist lets anyone go on a random promo talk instead of answering the questions he/she is asked then the journalist isn't doing his/her job
in the end I even prefer it when someone just says that he/she won't answer a certain question then giving some kind of pre-fabricated speech

Angela Harlem said:Interrupting someone when they're trying to talk is just plain rude. I dont care about the circumstances, or whether it is a reporter's job to turn into "Ms Gina Hardfaced Bitch". People have lost the basics of garden variety politeness these days.

Neither party has run "the best they have to offer" in quite a while. Campaigns are not about seeking the best leadership, it is about obtaining control (which leads to control of $$$).
Reporter: . . .But I think there is a feeling that the world has become a more dangerous place because you have taken the focus off al Qaeda and diverted into Iraq. Do you not see that the world is a more dangerous place? I saw four of your soldiers lying dead on the television the other day, a picture of four soldiers just lying there without their flight jackets.
THE PRESIDENT: Listen, nobody cares more about the death than I do --
Q Is there a point or place --
THE PRESIDENT: Let me finish, please. Please. Let me finish, and then you can follow up, if you don't mind.
Nobody cares more about the deaths than I do. I care about it a lot. . . .
