   John R. Parkinson, a reporter with ABC, bragged on social media about how he had shouted loudly at President Biden across a cemetery where he was paying respects to his dead family members, including his first son. “Mr. President, will you pardon your son?” Parkinson had asked, noting that Biden “did not visibly react or acknowledge the question.”

     First of all, Biden addressed this question in the negative just the day before, and had addressed it similarly in July. Do your research.

     Second, what kind of unprofessional jerk shouts a question like that while the president is visiting the graves of his family members? Our politics and our media needs to relearn respect and courtesy. No one should be cruel or callous just for attention.
