Okay, so who should the media ask the hard questions to if not people like state governors? I don't understand why you think a non-answer is a non-story. Not responding to "do you support terrorism" is, in itself, a story.
But I really want to know who you think the media should ask hard questions to.
The media should ask hard questions to the people that aren't going to just ignore or deflect them obviously, maybe they should ask Donald Trump some harder questions, because Donnie is going to talk whether you want him to or not.
There are a whole slew of folks that the media would be better suited at going after than DeSantis, but there are also other folks similar to DeSantis that still shouldn't be ignored, especially the ones that are more vulnerable than DeSantis is.The only people that should be asking DeSantis questions are the ones he can't lie to, he can't deflect on, and that's something like the FBI.
Also again we all know the answer about DeSantis supporting terrorism, that answer is yes, hell CPAC sarcasticly admitted that they are domestic terrorists:
They know what they are and what they're doing, it's the naive folks who don't realize won't care, and their supporters who definitely don't care, and no journalist asking questions is going to change those people.
I've got two DeSantis humpers in my life and there is nothing you can say to make them waver about Ron being the "best governor in the US" because believe me, I've tried, they know he's a petty little tyrant, but that's what they want, and it's pathetic and unAmerican, neither of these people can articulate why they like DeSantis, but I'm fairly certain it's rooted in racism and the way DeSantis attacks his detractors. I know this because one of these people also admitted to being a Klandice Owens fan, and his fandom for her was summed up by him as "I like it when she "gets them'" as in he likes it when Klandice gish gallops and attacks people on her show. They like the outrage and they're attracted to it and the drama like moths to flame.
DeSantis should be thoroughly reported on, but again, I wouldn't waste my time asking questions, he's not going to answer, but he should be thoroughly covered by the press while not expecting to ever get an answer fromhim or his team.
