No one in baseball (eg. Charlie Manuel) should take queries from radio guys so seriously

Let the hipster radio guys build traffic to their websites, pad their resumes, fill up the airwaves, etc. People actually in baseball need to realize that's often all that's happening when they're being interviewed. Aside from any other issues, Manuel apparently became upset following a question asked him by a Philadelphia radio guy. I recall hearing Keith Foulke interviewed on a Boston radio station a year or 2 ago, and he seemed to take the questions seriously and very much to heart. This shouldn't be the case. Those being interviewed can be pleasant and forthcoming, offer some kind of information, but consider the circumstances: what do you know about the questioner and why do you give his often lame questions or remarks so much weight? Is he a proven intellectual giant? In most cases,no.
