		<description><![CDATA[Multiple choice questions from a reporter usually end badly when the newsmaker is duped into delivering an answer formulated by someone else, the reporter. But this scenario didn&#8217;t play out recently when President Obama fielded a multiple choice question from CNN&#8217;s Dan Lothian. Lothian asked the President if GOP candidate support for waterboarding was: A) uninformed, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What an impressive morning TV segment in Dallas featuring 25 local nonprofits! These nonprofits worked really well with the &#8220;Good Morning Texas&#8221; producers and talent at WFAA-TV to deliver five minutes of live (and lively) television that informed and entertained. This segment succeeded on another level, too. You had to be a robot, if you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Christine O&#8217;Donnell, the failed 2010 GOP Delaware Senate candidate, gave us all something to ponder this week when she walked off the set of an interview with CNN&#8217;s Piers Morgan: &#160; O&#8217;Donnell went on the show, she says, to promote her book, but she refused to talk about a topic that&#8217;s in the book. Ultimately, [...]]]></description>

It happened all too recently when ABC&#8217;s Diane Sawyer asked U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper about the arrests of a dozen terror suspects that same day in London.

The former BP chief executive went on the air in a BBC documentary to say that if he had a degree in acting &#8220;rather than a degree in geology I may have done better&#8221; in handling the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster.

		<description><![CDATA[Vice President Joe Biden decided not to speak directly to the press when he visited Kopp’s Frozen Custard shop in Greenfield, WI, but his comments generated headlines anyway. The shop manager initiated a banter when Biden offered to pay for his custard: &#8220;Lower our taxes and we&#8217;ll call it even,&#8221; he said. Biden at first said [...]]]></description>

California&#8217;s Republican U.S. Senate nominee Carly Fiorina joins the group. No matter what the hair-do, this isn&#8217;t pretty. The Fiorina campaign is brushing off [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll let KPIX-TV tell the story: There&#8217;s a lot to learn here.
