You know that this CNN clip will make it to Jon Stewart
Daily Show:

There was a high school shooting in Philadelphia. Daryn Kagan was interviewing someone - did not catch who it was:

Kagan: were the shooters a boy or a girl?

Woman: I really cannot tell

Kagan: do we know the motive?

Woman: I really cannot tell

and so it went. Practically every question that Kagan asked the reply was: I don't know, I cannot tell, etc.

Why not first talk to the woman off camera to find out what she does know?

Or was it because Faux was doing the same thing?

I was doing something else, half listening and not watching, but could not escape this ridiculous exchange

1. If she was a journalist, your question would be valid

but she, like most of the talking heads on TV, is only there to look good and read prepared text.

2. The Limbaugh story on this week Newsweek
has her photographed with him with admiring eyes usually reserved for groupies or wives of political candidates.

Not online but perhaps someone can find it or scan and post.

I had to wonder whether someone like that would have any credibility as a "reporter.

4. At least Newsweek had the class to remind her to wipe her chin...

3. The best part was when she concluded by saying
that there COULD be another shooter on the loose still (even though there was absolutely NO evidence to support her statement).
