I agree. Devils advocate answer: They ask and she answers because they get paid big money, all for providing TV 'Schlock and Awe' Style Entertainment that appeals to the Tabloid Mentality Audience.
And we respond because we're sick of seeing and hearing their vile lies, unpatriotic and Terrorist abetting propaganda that's used by our enemies plastered all over the media.
Actually I think we respond because we like to talk about this stuff. We respond on FR because there are no cafes where we can go to talk politics.
Hmmm. Maybe it's time to start a political cafe...
Shalom.
