If business or families were to operate the way our primary elections have been going nothing could get done until the media has had at it for a while, and then the journalists have had a back and forth.
Imagine a new product launch that was the result of millions of dollars of research and years of study. It could be derailed simply by asking a ridiculous question which would only require a ridiculous answer. The shareholders would then hold the business managers in contempt and the product offering would be compromised before it ever had a chance.
For that matter, imagine if things like family vacations and homes to live in were chosen by what the media asks each parent before they do it. Could you see it now? Media, “I understand you chose a beach vacation with your family, how would you feel if the children got skin cancer and do you know if it is wise to go near water. It is our understanding that people can drown in water? If that were to happen, what would that do to future plans and are you ready to make that decision? "
Our obsession with news media is becoming the news.
Hilary Clinton was asked, “What would you do if Iran attacked Israel with a nuclear weapon? What would you do if you were president? "
No matter what answer she gave, she could be second guessed. Should she have said that we would not be happy? Should she have said we will go to the UN? No, the only answer is if Iran or any other country starts a preemptive nuclear strike that the US response would be unfathomable! Any other answer would be unacceptable.
However, it has given the media and Barak something to speak about and it all came from the absurd question asked by the media to begin with.
Does anyone else see how we are perverting the system to our own detriment!
