I really don't know why only the person that asked the question is the only one that doesn't give his/her opinion on the answer. His/hers is news; everyone else that heard the answer is opinion. Must be a trade secret.

1. The reporters story may not have anything to do with the briefing.
2. If the reporters story is the subject of the breifing, he may want something answeredfor the benefit of his readers/viewers.


The reporter really cannot do his job if he doesn't have access to origination material. The desire to have an evenless informed public is as disappointing as it is partisan.
