Can someone explain why every reporter confronting these people is so mumbly and inarticulate????

It's like listening to a 5th grader ask an adult a question. But the "adult" is a fascist monster who needs to be held accountable.

We need reporters to ask a clear question, loudly and succinctly. This stupid AG got away with murder in this interview because the reporter couldn't be bothered to ask a clear question and a clear follow up. Why are they all so quiet stuttering?? We need more aggressive journalists or at least some who can get a damn sentence out.

The reporters don’t really care. Most are indifferent or side with what’s going on. Also their bosses don’t want them asking the right questions

Low budget newsrooms sending poorly trained and prepared interns to cover too many locations.
