Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4054071, member: 5798"] I’ve gone off before on reporters that ask stupid, dumb or condescending questions like that one. They teach students how to write in journalism school. Somewhere in that curriculum should be a class on how to conduct an interview and how to choose questions. Why do reporters like to ask players that just lost a game how they feel? Or as one player referred to an irrelevant personal question that had nothing to do with the game as “a clown question.” Doris Burke is one of my favorite reporters/analyst. She’s a pro’s pro that has done lots of post game interviews. Of course I haven’t seen or heard them all, but I’ve never heard her ask a dumb question during an interview. Retired Dodger broadcaster Vin Scully was an excellent interviewer. He never made players, coaches or managers that talked to him uncomfortable by asking dumb or condescending questions. He too was a pro’s pro. So was Laker broadcaster Chick Hearn. [/QUOTE]
