The really stupid thing is that before they showed up, some guy was briefing the press. He said that while the Lynch family had TV on in their home, there was a lot they were unaware of. He did not go into any specifics, so I guess I will blame him; whoever HE was.

Probably not, but it was still an insensitive question that could serve no purpose except to dampen the Lynch family's happiness just before departure.
