If the press is so desirous of press conferences and so angry that Bush doesn't do enough of them, why do reporters just ask the same questions over and over again?
Now, Podhoretz is missing the questions his buddy "Jeff Gannon" used to ask--things like
Exactly how cool are you, Mr. President? and
What makes Dems so evil?, but we take his point. The press is too lazy to do new, independent research.
I say we use this post to do the work for the media. Let's give them questions they can ask next time Bush opens his mouth.
Here are the rules, though:
- One sentence only, with no followups.
- You should provide a link to any supporting materials to help the media understand why the question should be asked.
- It should be written as a non-partisan question.
That doesn't mean that points can't be made within the question. I'll give us a question with which to start, which should explain better what I mean.
Mr. President, considering North Korea's recent testing of long-range missiles, do you still support your decision to provide North Korea with the $95 million provided for in the 1994 Agreed Framework, while waiving the Framework's requirement that the North Koreans submit to inspections in order to receive the funds?
Let's lend the media a hand.
