You know, there are reporters who are Democrat hacks/whores too. Feel free to call them out Republicans. If they're asking idiotic questions just for the soundbite, or so they can editorialize, or they're asking unanswerable/irrelevant questions, or begging the question, then they deserve it. Any reporter deserves it and I'm sick of moronic reporters asking moronic questions. I remember the only time I thought Rumsfeld was cool was when he shot down some idiot reporter because the reporter asked some question that showed absolutely no understanding of anything, including reality, just (apparently) to see if Rumsfeld could sum up what would normally take 500 pages of writing--in a single sentence and on the spot. Basically a troll.

On the other hand, if you call reporters asking good, direct, relevant questions hacks, then I'll call you the hack.
