I really don't know why more reporters don't ask leading questions in an effort to get him to answer honestly. Well I know why cuz they're hacks and they're they're in on it. But if I was a White House reporter one of the first things I would say would be something akin to " Israel has continuously violated the ceasefire you negotiated, do you think this tarnishes your legacy and do you think Israel's doing this purposely as a sign of disrespect to you?" Shit like that.

You'd only ever get the one question

One worthwhile question is better than 100 useless ones If

My point was more that anyone who would get themselves filtered out by asking the question has already done so

Yes that's what the second sentence in my original comment was addressing.

"That's a terrible question! What kind of journalist asks a question like that? That's not even a journalism question, it's just a bad, terrible, awful question from a bad, terrible, awful person! Whoever hired you should be fired and your whole organization should be put under review for you asking such an awful question!"

That's how he answers the safe and benign questions. Might as well ask him something that has a chance of riling him up.
