    Basically the same game we've seen run to keep the press away from Brandon (and Brandon away from the press). Staffers instructed to keep the people's servants as far from the people as possible. People on the right know the far-left progressives that run Brandon's administration wont entertain discussion of to ease our oil crisis because they don't want the crisis eased. But with midterms coming up they cant take the risk of people on the left finding this out and so we can expect to see more of this.

    BREAKING NEWS!!!!!
    POLITICIAN DOESN'T ANSWER JOURNALIST WHILE WALKING.
    You understand that journalists should of course ask their questions as often as they can. But the odds of a politician answering while walking somewhere are between slim and none. There must be thousands of hours of video of politicians refusing to answer any old random mike shoved in their face. I know it feels fun captioning these moments 'politician runs away' (both sides do this. All the time) but this is really truly meaningless. Actually Granholm's aide asked the reporter specifically to send them their question and she would get back to them.
    The last time this was actually worthy of the current events section is when a reporter ambushed congressman Michael Grimes. Grimes threatened to throw the journalist from the 1st floor and threatened to snap his neck IIRC. It became news again, when Michael Grimes was caught for tax evasion.
    But other than that, a politician not answering a question from a reporter who literally jumped out at her is really absolutely meaningless. I won't deny you your petty spin of the situation. We've all been there. But this really is absolutely as meaningless as possible.

    No kidding.
    Granholm (or any other person or politician, regardless of party) is not required to answer a thing.
    Especially, when it is shouted at them from some Partisan (Faux News) Moron.
    And, this is the latest "Lookie, Dems Bad!" Mock Outrage Fodder?:bored:
    Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.
    Totally LMAO!

    "Hey Lookie! Granholm no answer question!"...:roflol::bored:

    Well that's likely the best fish flop I've seen in a decade.... I mean, in your mind, why would government ever be responsible to the people it governs? I mean, could they think it might not be in their collective interest to have to explain things like "who cares if gas goes up to $15 a gallon, "I drive a Tesla".... ) Steven Colbert was ever the village idiot, but you should get the point that democrats have always lied and said they were to party of the people.. Clearly, that boat sailed.

    I'm all about responsibility and transparency, but this post and included Fox news story is simple faux outrage.
    C'mon, you need to come up with something better than this. Unless you are claiming that all public officials have to stop and answer questions from anyone whenever they are accosted. I didn't want to waste the time looking it up, but there are probably hundreds of instances of politicians and government officials not answering questions hurled at them as they are travelling from place to place.
    Did you notice all the smiling going on at the beginning? Nobody was outraged by it until Fox blew it WAY out of proportion, and the haters got ahold of it.
    WAAAAHHHH!

    I’m still waiting for Granholm to “Blow me away”. Michiganders will understand.

    Why would riots break out in November?
    Do you realize what you typed could sound a little threatening to someone?

    Brandon’s strategy for dealing with the media, everyone in his admin is required to learn how to do it.

    Stunning the downfall of all your other Biden meme's that this is now the go-to meme... walking away after delivering remarks....

    It looks so much better when our POTUS's walk over to hump the American flags instead of bypassing them..

    Fox News is a joke of an organization.
    They have openly and successfully argued in court that their most watched host would only be believed by an absolute idiot.

    Another highly watched host openly campaigned for one of the most corrupt presidents in US history, one that is banned from operating a charity due to embezzlement from a children’s cancer fund.

    And a prior senior director of the channel was just arrested for pushing pro-Putin propaganda

    All politicians should refuse to answer any question from these frauds that are directly responsible for much of the division we see today.

    You literally have the tenacity to mock Fox after continued support of CNN... The ones who continued to lie that people taking ivermectin, were taking horse dewormer?! Or MSNBC or continued to lie about "if you get the vaccine, you won't get COVID".

    Fox is seriously biased, but the other media outlets are near criminal with the propaganda they spew. They are literally the Pravda of th3 US.

    Remember when Trump went 300 days without a press briefing? Your mock outrage is noted.

    Apparently you can't see the distinction of the world then to the world today? Near a world War. More then likely a massive recession. The poor getting hammered by inflation and now massive increased cost due to engery spikes!

    If you weren't on the teat of the DNC, you'd also be pissed with the lack of effort of the part of this administration.

    As that is the case, wouldn't you rather have administration officials working on the problems rather than answering the same question 100 times
    to the press? Again, your mock outrage is noted.
