I agree, maybe she was looking for him to give a positive message and some reason to the others effected by this.

I have heard the same type of questions after these type of events, "why did God allow this", the pastor put it in perspective.

I'm more familiar with the exploitive tv reporter standing over someone crying about losing their family, their home, etc. being asked "How do you feel now? Can you tell me what you are feeling?" A few will respond with outrage over being asked such an indelicate question.

Sometimes there is even an agenda behind it, as when they ask to interview the families (wives/parents) of fallen soldiers "for the local angle" and then drop the 10pm interview of same family when they don't lash out at the Bush administration and the war (some have called in to radio later to complain, as it isn't "all" of the families being dropped from the later broadcast, just those who didn't answer correctly).

Keep in mind that they are not the brightest bulbs on the tree, they are hired for their looks.

My sister is the executive vice president of marketing of one of the largest media companies in the business, quote "they are not hired for their GPA in college".

I would like to see one of these talking haircuts ask someone who has just been through this type of trauma ask the standard question "How do you feel?" and have the interviewee ask them "where your parents related before they got married?"
