Stupid questions from CNN Reporter

#1 Postby ConvergenceZone » Thu Sep 01, 2005 12:45 am

I know, I shouldn't be so hard as this is part of reporting, but just listening to an interview on CNN interviewing one of the guys that was in the Superdome. The guy was oviously very stressed out, and the reporter kept asking stupid questions like "walk me through what your day was like?". "how did it feel to get out of the superdome?". The guy was obviously dilerious and yet the reporter kept asking stupid questions. "how was it like to sleep"??? ERRRRRRRRRR I just wanted the guy being interviewed to say, "What do you think it was like???????????"
I mean, these questions have such obvious answers.


errrrrrrrrrrrrrr reporters!!!!

lol thats what they get paid to do! and alot of times its hard for those not involved to really know what its like I mean you can pretty much guess but you don't know for sure until you have lived through it! so by asking the questions and getting answers it lets us know more of how its like!

I guess what bothered me about it the most is that you can tell that the guy who was being interviewed was becoming increasingly stressed by the questions, which should have been a cue for the reporter, to LAY OFF!!! and have some human compassion for a change!!!!!!!

The reporter had been trying to find out if the guy was telling the truth about the Superdome. Considering we've never heard a word about cots in there, I assume he was lying.
