I think part of it is that EVERY reporter is looking for that ONE break, to be the ONE person to ask the million-dollar question. The one question that everyone else couldn't think of, but propelled the news story to a whole different level. And everyone thinks THEIR question will be it. It's not like it's the same person asking all the stupid questions, it's several people. They all want a turn, and a shot, at bat for that golden question that takes them out of the field and puts them behind a news desk.
