The host of the show had the gall to actually ask Barney tough questions. The Democrats in general, like Nancy Pelosi, and Barney in particular are not used to the media challenging them. Nancy solution is to just stopped answering media questions. Any answers to questions the media might have for her are handle through her spokes-flunky. Barney though just walks off the set when questions get too tough. Democrats believe the media is there to get their message out without being challenged, without anyone being critical of the message, and without any filters or analysis.</description></item></channel></rss>
