Angle: The Press Should 'Ask The Questions We Want To Answer' (VIDEO)

First Posted: 08- 3-10 09:11 AM   |   Updated: 08- 3-10 09:13 AM

Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle's understanding of the political press appears to have even conservative outlets scratching their heads.

The Tea Party favorite made another peculiar remark during an interview with Fox News on Monday evening, explaining that she wanted "to have the press be our friend," and "ask the questions we want to answer so that they report the news the way we want it to be reported."

Fox News's Carl Cameron told Angle that she sounded "naïve" before resorting to somewhat nervous laughter. The National Review ran the exchange under the title "Did She Just Say That Out Loud?"

The comments come after a variety of other bizarre statements and actions from Angle with respect to the media. The Nevada Republican abruptly bolted a press conference that she had set up in-state once it came time for the question and answer session, forcing reporters to chase her through a parking lot. Even before that she told the Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody that she was avoiding mainstream outlets because "there's no earning for me there."

1. If she goes to Fox she is sure that will happen
they ask questions republicans want and they report the news the way THEY WANT TO. So what's the big deal. You just have to have the stomach to watch Fox.

3. What's sad is a nut job like her is getting votes.
Maybe not enough to unseat Reid, but enough for me to worry about the mental health of our nation.
