How do “reporters” learn to avoid asking difficult questions?
Remember the Parkland shooting? Yes, one of all too many school shootings. And somehow it wound up being blamed on law-abiding citizens who, in accord with their Second Amendment rights, owned firearms.
Had I been at our local demonstration as a reporter, I would have asked, “Aren’t you ashamed to exploit kids for your own political agenda?” And probably a few others, too, before they called the cops and complained I was harassing them.
My wife & I amazed when we watch our local news show cover an item, and then we look at each other wondering what even it was about.
*Sigh* We really did try to pass on accurate information, back when I was a reporter. What a difference 40+ years make.
