My whine re news conference Q&A's

rossowmn
I've been watching news conferences lately regarding crimes including the Jayme Closs kidnapping. Maybe it's just because I'm as deaf as my wife often suggests[:I], but it drives me nuts when the questions sound like the adult teacher on Charlie Brown cartoons and the person answering fails to briefly repeat the question. The result is that I have to guess what the question is, based on the answers given. Is it just my ears, or do others notice this situation?

    Stop watching the news; most of it is Trump bashing and the weather man is paid big bucks to get it wrong 70% of the time.

    I live near all his crap and you would think nothing is happening anywhere else in the world. you're right, the same questions every hour worded differently, with the same non answers.

    "Mwaap wap wa wa mwap?" I became a darn good lip reader according to my audiologist![:D] When one of our major senses goes on the blink, other resources come into play. Thanks to our miraculous human brains!

    Yep
    News is no longer news. The first thing news agencies do when a vile criminal act happens is attempt to tie the act to a GOP or Trump supporter.
    If the perp is a DEMOCRAT, that fact will go unreported.
    Lying to the people is accepted norm. Watch CNN if you doubt me.

    I agree with you 100%. And it's not just news conferences. Classes etc... Whenever I train and someone asks a question, I repeat it so that everyone know what I'm answering. It's just common (right...) sense and courtesy. Not everyone present hears the questions.
