Are hosts truly uninformed, plain stupid or gaslighting people ?

Listening to Katy Tur on my commute. She is asking the most stupid questions and giving airtime to idiotic Trump ideas as if it was worthy of being considered.
I can't tell if she is plain dumb or playing one.

She was seriously wondering if the truth social proposal from Trump regarding giving Healthcare money to people would solve everything.

People aren't going to be "shopping" for insurance. That's precisely what the aca marketplace is

Handing out money to people instead of providing affordable insurance will just benefit the rich and screw the poor and sick people even more.

Whats not to understand ?

God, I hate that kind of " im just asking questions" journalism.

my annual health insurance premiums totalled $14,000 – for just one relatively healthy person!

$2,000 wouldn't have fixed that.
