and challenge political assertions. Instead of taking the lazy way of pretending both sides are equivalent.

"You brought a snowball inside and threw it on the ground, do you consider that a scientific experiment?"

fall out laughing if a reporter asked Cruz, Cotton, any of their crew if they were from dumbfuckistan.

So many times, a reporter asks a specific question and a politician gives a lovely answer. The problem is that the answer has nothing to do with the question asked.

I like it when reporters pin down their subjects and follow through until the question is answered.

I'd love to see a reporter say "either answer my question as asked or get off my show".

Politician: I'm not a climate scientist but...
Repoter: (Interrupting) Oh, so I should make sure I inform my readers that whatever you're about to say more than likely has no scientific validity. Thank you, Senator. Proceed.

And if they won't answer a question put to them, the reporter/interviewer should say something like, "Thank you for your time, Senator, but if you can't answer our simple questions, it's not worth it - either economically or information-wise, to keep talk with you." and immediately end the interview and have the studio switch to something else.
