How liberals avoid a pointing question on CNN: "I don't understand"

Posted on 11/04/2007 7:32:14 AM PST by Posting

Howard Kurtz on CNN's "Reliable Sources" [http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/reliable.sources/] Nov. 04 07 9:20 AM:

I saw some posting on your 'Going off the bus' blog, it tries very hard to refute the claim that Obama is not experienced [as Hillary is], so, Is it not a [very] liberal blog?

Jay Rosen, 'I am sorry, I couldn't understand your question"...

It's also a "schtick"-trick in order to buy some time before answering an off guard question.

I don't understand it either. Kurtz should try English.

A pointing question? Is that like a leading question, only the questioner didn’t bother to get up?

I saw that too!! It WAS a loooong question, but then Dems NEVER answer questions, so Jay-Jay was just stalling.

They gotta get Chuckie Schumer in there saying “I’m all for security but I don’t want you to have guns.”

“I don’t understand” is about as close as any of these folks ever get to being honest.
