Ärende: QUESTIONS SCREENED
==========================
-

 
RS>   At the town hall meeting, the audience wasn't screened 
RS>   up the wazoo, the way Bush's people screened audiences 
RS>   for town hall meetings.
 
JF>   How do you know?

DD>   Implied from the differnt styles of 
DD>   the two men involved.
  
JF>   'Implied'??  Not exactly a solid basis for 
JF>   Ross' empty assertion.
 
DD>   If it waddles like a duck and it quacks like
DD>   a duck and it craps through feathers chances
DD>   are it ain't a chrysanthemum.

  Your attempt at riddles doesn't even begin to support Ross' 
contention.


 
DD>   And the fact that if the audience were "screened" the press -
DD>   especially Faux News - would have been all over it
DD>   like stink on shit.
 
JF>   You should learn someday that all reporters and the questions
JF>   they will ask are screened at presidential press conferences.
JF>   That's why you never hear someone asking questions like..

JF>   'How was it you were able to gather record amounts of
JF>       contributions from so many unknown sources?
 
DD>   Errrrrmmmmm - your assertion is pretty silly unless you 
DD>   think that Presidential press conferences are some sort
DD>   of Potemkin village set up to look like a real 
DD>   Presidential press conference.

  My assertion is not naive and considers much.


DD>  Besides - we were discussing town hall meetings, 
DD>  not Presidential press conferences. 
DD>  Do try to keep up.

    Press conferences or Town Hall meetings...both consist of reporters.
All questions and reporters are reviewed and screened before they are 
allowed to approach the president who will be speaking to the nation.

   Again, if they didn't screen reporters, or anyone asking questions, 
you would have every right or left wing hard liner asking all sorts 
of questions, be they sensitive, embarrassing or vulgar and perhaps 
questions that contain classified info.  Unfortunately they have to 
screen everyone and everything.  

       "Mr. Clinton what were you thinking when you were 
         using a cigar on Monica Lewinski"?

       "Mr. Bush, how many bribes have you taken from Saudi Arabia"?

       "Mr. Obama, why can't we confirm the origin of your birth 
        and why have you yet to produce a birth certificate"?


   Do try to get a clue.   Then tell me how you know the answer to my 
question to Ross, who still has declined an answer, after accusing Rush 
of making things up and being afraid of debate.  Oh yes, you did say, 
if it walks, squacks, craps, etc..   Rrrrright...   Nice try.
