In an incomparably revealing exchange with Tom Brokaw, the MSNBC star describes the role of our press.
  • Jebbie

    Folks on message boards don't and it does no good to whine about not getting an answer back to what may appear as a loaded question. No?

    You mistake stating a fact for whining.

    A loaded question is a question with a false, disputed, or question-begging presupposition.

    Perhaps you can give me some examples of the "loaded questions" I have asked?

    From the candidates point of view any question they do not wish to answer is a loaded one.

    You read my post and know I already stated that posters are not candidates. Even when I repeatedly asked Kitt to tell me what he thought I was wrong about besides the percentage of Americans who would hear of the NIE, he flatly refused to do so. Since he used his statement that I was wrong about other things to disparage and insult me I felt it was a perfectly legitimate question. Do you disagree?
