I always get irritated when they use the response of , "No, the right question to ask is: xxx......." I almost LOL until I remember how they subvert the system by circling around sensitive questions. By using this method they answer (and ask) any question they happen to like!! And they elude any question they don't like ... Unfortunately most of the time the journalist (Ha!) let them get away with it -- Seems to be part of politicing 101 ....
