After 200+ answers, is anyone going to read yours?

Okay, so I think I understand your argument; any one answer is likely to be drowned out and that no one will be going through with a fine-toothed comb. On that I agree.
The question itself is an important one. "Human interest" stories take up far too much space in the news cycle. There are many of us who want to vomit when we see the latest "pretty white girl in distress". Also, many complex issues do not get the context that a reasoned understanding requires. So, I was pleased to see this question, as I believe that it a tacit admission of the news media's subpar performance this year.

Lesley Stahl? hmmmmmm, now who is she again? LOL
If she asked a question, it was probably pointless and driven by some think tank or focus group, so why should her questions matter?

What question? I obviously could care less, I never noticed her question.
Although it may have been fun to write one of the first answers, I agree, it's pointless to respond when there are 200+. To make it more meaningful and interesting, they could have the celebrity or journalist ask several questions, each posted on consecutive days, then limit the number of answers accepted on each one.

Lesley Stahl is an airhead ****.
Who cares? Her question is a gimmick.

The thing with these celebrity questions is really getting to me. I don't come on here to read more liberal junk. So far all I have seen is liberal junk. You know the celebs who are posting these questions are not actually going to read the answers don't you. Why waste your time with an answer.

I found it interesting the most answered was the lack of truth in reporting from the media in regards to Iraq. Too bad the media is too dense to get it.

Actually it is kinda annoying along with Oprah, Leonardo Dicaprio and the other guy who want to get rid of hunger.

What was the most important news of 2006 and why was it underreported? I'm not a celebrity. Now can you hear it?

Last three years I have learned to put journalists and politicians in the very highly esteemed category of lawyers and used car salesmen.
Stahl is Stalled.
