No, it isn't. If it was that broad, then reporters would just ask wild things all the time to illicit responses for headlines.
The report's job is to ask questions relevant to the setting: The person's profession or on the person being interviewed's actions or history. Ben Baby's question was grossly out of bounds and had nothing to do with anything related to Joe Burrow or anything Joe Burrow has spoken about or taken action on.
My father worked at DDN for nearly 30 years with reporters and I have 3 clients who are retired sports reporters. One in a HOF for it. That was an absolutely out of bounds, gasoline fire question and that Ben Baby knew... or should have known... what he was doing by asking it.
