andrea mitchell replays jake tappers question and says 'a final question hits home'

[spanone]

oh really andrea....?

tapper asks the President...'this is not the first incident of horrific gun violence of your four years, where have you been?'

[BeyondGeography]

1. Useless cynics

Bless the Internet; everything used to run through these fools.

[spanone]

2. our media is beyond useless, it's dangerous.

[Enrique]

3. good question and good answer

imho.

[truebrit71]

8. What was the answer? Hopefully a polite version of "Go fuck yourself you snide little man"...

...

[Enrique]

9. he said "I've been president of the United States"

and Tapper has been asking politicians tough questions about gun control for years.

[librechik]

4. yeah, and the President hit it right back at him

that was satisfying--what a snotty question!

[spanone]

5. it wasn't a question. it was a statement wrapped in a question.

imho

6. Where have YOU been main stream media?

What a high-horse question, when the media is more guilty than the president of dropping an issue at the whiff of the next big story/scandel. They feed into the whole inaction and lack of accountability.

What an A$$. I loved the presidents answer. Like, yeah, pulling the economy out of the ditch!

[Whisp]

7. jake is an asshole.

who the hell is he, besides a large anus?

10. Every weasly reporter wants his 15 mins of fame.

Being a whore for advertisers just isn't rewarding enough.

11. Well, at least he talked about the issue, even if we dont like the question.

This is more than the rest of the press corps did. And the fact that Tapper was the only one asking questions on this issue should be the answer to his own question: since when does the media care more than a few days after a shooting?
