Just because a reporter asks you a question, doesn't mean you HAVE to answer it.

Just take a look at what happened during Justin Bieber's wide ranging interview with Rolling Stone Magazine. He was asked some questions that really shouldn't have been asked of a 16 year old and felt obliged to answer them.

A media training session would have taught him how to deal with such questions. It would have shown him ways to bridge back to safer topics. Items that he felt comfortable talking about.
