Katy Tur is stupid. She asked a stupid question.

She asked, "Why are you so confident that it was an attack aimed at her?" After it was reported that the attacker asked where Nancy Pelosi was.

But I don't necessarily have an issue with it.

The best form of journalism is getting the experts to say the right thing. Perhaps she knew the answer but was directing the guests to put it on the record for anyone tuning in.

asking where Nancy was. People watching the show know how to add 2 plus 2. It was not a 3x34x21.

But to me, she's never been the sharpest knife in the drawer.

… on a wild ride covering Donald Trump’s campaign and ascendency to potus.

During that time he singled her out as his target for “fake news,” called her out as “Little Katy Tur, there she is” — and ultimately called the mob out on her so viciously at one of his rallies that the Secret Service came over to her as she was wrapping up and insisted on escorting her back to her van.

This happened. I saw that rally on tv, and it made my skin crawl.

I don’t know what you think Olbermann has to do with her career, but she earned her spot as an anchor the hard way.

everything is "allegedly" ....they got the guy with the weapon in his hand assaulting Paul Pelosi. This legalese spouting is ridiculous.

If you were a tv or radio host, it would be your job to elicit answers when you ask a question of people who are relevant to whatever event you are reporting on.

So, there’s leading questions to get the other person talking.

If you don’t do that, you’re just editorializing.
