So they're not supposed to ask questions?

Is making a statement the same as asking a question ?

Making a statement with a question at the end is what you said. Are they not supposed to ask questions?

Sarah hasn't been overwhelmed with questions on No. Korea or Harvey today. Its no longer a priority for the press.

Is making a statement the same as asking a question ? Its pretty much a yes or no question. Can you answer the question and then answer your own question with some degree of thought ?

Its somewhat disappointing that there were only two questions on No. Korea when they are said to be launching another missile today.

I always know when someone can't answer a question when they respond in a snotty manner. No, a statement is not a question however, you said make a statement with a question. What does that even mean? Which statement are you referring to and again, are they not supposed to be asking questions?

Which question are you referring to, that you say, they aren't supposed to ask ?
