since when is that the job of the media at a press conference???

I think it is the media's job to point out previous statements by the candidate and ask them to explain them in light of current events.

Kerry's "fantasy world" comment was dumb. The reporter knows it, just like we know it. The reporter is inviting Kerry to say more dumb stuff by inviting Kerry to say that other world leaders are also in a "fantasy world."

They should, at a minimum, reference his earlier statement then.

IMHO, a subtle sarcastic question...clever, designed to draw Kerry out. Consider this the antidote to the soundbite-seaking questions the MSM constantly throw at Bush.
