Once again, do you notice how you can't articulate anything specific?

All you can say is, she screwed up. But, how? Because she asked the guy another question? Ok. But, I ask second and third questions all the time, just to make sure I really know where people are coming from. Everyone should do that. Especially, in an interview about an airplane that was shot down. Who would be prepared for a crackpot to make a comment about Howard Stern then? I wouldn't. To fault her for that is kind of dumb.

I'll even go out on a limb and say you know it's dumb. Why? Because you are attacking everything except your argument that she is a ditzy anchor.

First, it was the network. (MSNBC)
Next, it was the occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Then, it was me and what you call my so called defense of anything liberal/wacko.
Finally, it's "that dude" Rachael Maddow.

All funny, but none are responsive to my question -- indicative of someone who can't answer it.

You see, you are turning something that is non-political into something political. I'm not even discussing anything Liberal, or wacko. I merely asked what she did that was so wrong and "she" could have been Megyn Kelly, Gretta Van Susteren, Candy Crowley, or Mother Teresa.

If someone had attacked them for doing what Krystal Ball did, I would have asked the same question.

This is about interacting with other people and not jumping the gun. It's not partisan. It's not political. So, can we give that aspect of the discussion a rest? Or, do you need it?
I articulated the answer in an earlier reply since it wasn't obvious to you--but, again, yes, she asked another question after she got pranked with the line that included something like "It got shot down by a fart from Howard Stern's arse." You asking another question of someone in the hallway is understandable, but this ditzy TV lady for MSNBC is on national TV. What did she do wrong? Again, she asked more questions. It's so obvious what she did wrong it begs the question--why are you so forgiving of her? Had she been on Fox you'd be laughing at how dumb she was to keep the conversation going. I would be too, but for some reason since it's on that WH propaganda channel you're making excuses. I just find your reaction somewhat entertaining and interesting because it's an example of how people's biases affect their reactions. What did she have to do before it got to the point you'd find her performance embarrassing? Did she have to go the point of asking, "Do you have any idea how much flatus was expelled from Mr. Stern's anus, and at what speeds it reached to have such a devastating effect on the 747?" As for everything else you said, blah blah blah...I told you what she did wrong and the rest of what I wrote related to my trying to understand the reaction of an American male presumably of average or higher intelligence who for some reason fails to see what is before him in a video. This is a perfect example of why prosecutors are sometimes suspicious of eye witness accounts. The human mind is a amazing and interesting subject.
