Late reply. I think reporters should be forever barred from asking "How do you feel" questions. I remember when Bill Cosby's son was killed there were dozens of reporters asking that. One reporter had the courage to simply say that he (the reporter) was very sorry that such a tragedy had happened. Cosby then smiled at him and said 'He was my hero.'
Asking someone how they feel about anything is lazy reportage.
I wonder how the reporters would feel about that comment?

Regarding "feeling" questions, and other subjective interviews.......a true story from Yogi Berra.....he'd been tossed out by the home plate ump for protesting a strike call too hard, so the next day, as he stepped into the batter's box, he asked the ump if he could get thrown out for "thinking"..the ump said no...so Berra said, "I THINK you're an a*****e..."The ump tossed him again....
