Seems like, "gotcha journalism." That first question was pretty good and I wonder if Blinken would have answered it if he had ever gotten the chance. The "journalist" barely had time to breathe while throwing out rapid fire questions then he just started in with the accusations.
I’m all for protesting and calling out this admin but anyone who expected a different outcome in this situation doesn’t understand how these briefings work.
It's shameful to have reporters with emotions 'n stuff. The question should've been asked politely, softly, with a smile. Better yet, the question shouldn't have been asked. Genocide is bad, certainly, but we must have good manners and proper decorum.
Not at all what I said.
It's really not, you're right. Sometimes my snark and pessimism get the best of me, sorry.
I get it. We all do it.
Governments and corporations are killing us, en masse, and we rightly feel enraged about it. Tbf, I can see how I sounded a bit "this protest is pointless" which is not what I meant to do.
