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.
What's funny is that you THINK I am being biased. I am not. I told you I would have defended
anyone who did that. As, I pointed out, I do it, too. Being on national TV, doesn't matter. I would understand why anyone would try to continue that interview. She asked one question after the initial "Howard Stern" reply, then indicated she didn't hear him afterwards.
If you really think that that one extra question is indicative of being ditzy, I would caution you not to employ that belief in real life.
My experience has taught me that there is never anything wrong with one extra question, no matter where you are.
