As I've echoed multiple times now in this space, it's difficult to get too outraged over this kind of stuff anymore -- it's just become too par for the course in terms of our advocacy-driven national media. But that still doesn't mean it ain't slimey, nevertheless (sorry for the double negative).
Postscript: On the lighter side of things, it is amusing that His Majesty and the particular advocate in question (I think I will cease calling these people journalists or reporters) could have apparently used a little rehearsal time together beforehand. It looks like Majesty went off-prompter for a moment (always a surprise), which appeared to trip up said advocate, who launched right into his scripted question without paying much attention to what Majesty had just said to him (see above link for the precise exchange). Heck, these people might be throwing journalism out the window, but I will commend them for at least entertaining me in the process.
