From Powerline:
For Joe Biden, that is: being asked tough questions by a news reporter. This interview with a local TV station is fun to watch, because it makes you realize how rare it is for a Democrat to face hostile questions from the press. Really, it's almost unheard of, and you can see Biden's outrage at the idea that a television reporter is willing to challenge Democrat orthodoxy. Biden handles himself fine, in the sense that he delivers his utterly fictitious talking points with aplomb. But his outrage was shared by the Obama campaign, which promptly decreed that this station will get no more interviews. The Republicans should think about doing that with CNN, CBS and NBC.
I agree. For some reason, Republicans treat questions from the MSM in such a way as to give them legitimacy. There are few instances I can think of when a Republican showed contempt for MSM talking points or laughed in the face of a reporter's question.
