This is how it works: TV and radio reporters/presenters have reflexive positions. Give me a story and I'll tell you the first six questions which these brainless hacks will ask. The questions are supplied by researchers, bless their little hearts, who are also trying to impress their bosses. The presenters do not have the time (or the the intellect) to produce original questions. Their object is (a) to impress their bosses and (b) build a reputation among their colleagues. I offer you below, questions and their required facial responses. <br />"Israel" - "settlements". (mild disapproval) <br />"Russia"? Hacking elections. (quizzically raised eyebrows)<br />"Brexit" - violent supporters (Frown)<br />"Milo" - racist (Big frown)<br />"Trump" - !!@@@!!! (Smug condescension)<br />Am I wrong?<br /><br />(PS Wasn't Sky's Kay B. the presenter who announced on September 11th 2001, when she had no autocue to help her and had to depend on her wits, that "The entire east coast of the USA had been wiped out"?
