Yes - in journalism it is completely normal. In fact it's journo 101

Lol, I see you have your heels dug in on this one, so we'll just agree to disagree.

If you are walking down the street and someone puts a camera in your face, demanding you to answer questions, then I'm guessing you will just spill your guts about whatever topic they are inquiring about. Good to know.

Okay - I have only done extensive media training with some of the best in the biz out in LA. But whatevs...

Your analogy is not correct - I am not a public employee like Nunes.

I didn't realize that elected representatives were required to answer the questions of every yahoo who confronts them in public and shoves a camera in their face.

Snowflakes

"...as a Catholic, I resent your using the word 'hate' in a sentence that addresses me. I don't hate anyone. I pray for the President all the time, so don't mess with me when it comes to words like that." Ambushed?

Uh oh, looks like Rand Paul's made some calls.

http://www.politico.com/news/2...e-data-079549?cid=apn

Paul told reporters on Monday evening that he is working on revisions to committee rules because "nobody should get your phone records. This is a big deal, this is a huge deal...I think we need to change the rules."

Uh yeah, it comes along with the job.

You boomers will argue anything. Sorry it hurts your feeling, but like dotards like to say 'fuck your feelings'

Fuck you rand, you work for the people. Nothing you do for/against the public should remain secret. This isn't Russia. This isn't Iran. This is the fucking US of A.

Years of attacking Clinton and her private email, yet now your panties are in a wad over public service employee phone records? Sorry, but you fuckers are idiots. lol

The people who you work for and pay your salary and health benefits are entitled to an accounting. And sniper, please read up on this idea of blindsiding politicians with questions where you demand an answer or infer the answer from their refusal to answer some bullshit stupid question. Google birtherism.

"One of the reasons why propaganda tries to get you to hate government is because it's the one existing institution in which people can participate to some extent and constrain tyrannical unaccountable power." Noam Chomsky.

So, if 60 people line up in front of a politician when the politician is just walking down the road, then that politician has to stop whatever they are doing and answer every single question? You are saying this is required by law? If so, please share whatever information you have. I would be interested in reading that.

Well you could do like our local rep Bill Posey, he stopped having public townhall meetings years ago in case someone yelled at him.

He hides under a rock but gets elected in Brevard because he's an "R" on the ballot.

My new view on the future of American government is that when nothing remains, everything is possible.

^lol^. Bill just sent me an email this week with a link to a survey that had only one question, "Should the president be impeached?". The link also wanted my name, address, phone # and email. Um, didn't he email me in the first place?

Seriously sniper. Look at the questions about Obama's birth certificate, the stupidity of it, the years of questions. The determination in blind loyalty to a fantasy and yet, our President released his birth certificate, showed the newspaper birth announcement and answered these morons for years. One of the morons even made a career out it.

Devin Nunes' Ukraine lies are a betrayal. Voters in his district deserve better

Nunes is trying to sue a cow.
