“There’s socially acceptable ways to decline an interview and that’s not one of them.”
There are also socially acceptable ways to extend a request for an interview...and what that reporter did is not one of them.
Again, I do not condone what the woman did, in declining the less than classy “request for an interview”.
And it’s not her fault that the reporter is an idiot, and was intentionally provoking an incident, any incident, for air time.
No matter what the situation, every person has the choice to be the better person.
She did not make that choice.
Everyone is responsible for their reactions and behavior, regardless of the circumstances.
If *I* blow up, I blame ~me~; not the moron I allowed to get my goat.
The world is full of aggravating idiots.
It’s my resonsilibilty to disregard their idiocy rather than sink to their level.
It’s a die hard conservative thing.
