Am I Answering My Own Questions?

Is the trend of people on the news interviewing themselves really annoying me?

Yes.

Do I think that it's an attempt to get out of answering real questions through asking and answering one's own set of questions?

Of course.

Do I think it's a sneaky way for people to control the message?

Yes.

Do I believe mistakes were made?

Of course.  Wait, what?

If I had to do it again, would I do things differently?

What are you (I) talking about?

Do I regret that it happened, and that several woodland creatures were slightly harmed?

Um...yes.
