Who asked the question? And if it was Judy Woodruff, shame on her since I'm pretty sure she's "old".

..watch pbs often so I was familiar with each them; also liked that PBS provided a diverse panel as well. .At the get go, guy was smug and condescending

[Note: allow me to research who male panelist was..I heard politico and didn't recognize him as anyone from pbs.]
