223: There Are Lots Of Stupid Questions

Whoever coined the phrase, "There is no such thing as a stupid question," obviously died before the advent of so-called "TV journalism."  I would venture to say that at least 90% of the questions put forward by these entertainers are stupid, inane, self-serving, and/or repetitive.  Oftentimes, the questions are not questions at all, but rather little speeches, full of editorializing.  Even after asking the question, the entertainers usually pay no attention to the answer.

I wish a guest would be honest, and say, "That's a really stupid question that doesn't deserve to be dignified by an answer."
