“Piers-ing” Thoughts on Beyonce « Freedoms Journal

Morgan asked Beyoncé one question that was totally inappropriate. I was quite offended that he would totally disrespect his interviewee; but what was even more offensive was the response that was given by the interviewee—Beyoncé. You can watch the interview here (begin at the 10:10 mark)

Up until the part of the interview in question, this was just your normal celebrity interview. No trick questions, no gotcha moments.

You can tell a lot about an interviewer based on the questions (and how they are asked) he chooses to ask. For example, it is inconceivable that a reporter would have ever asked Bush (the elder) whether he wore boxer or briefs as his choice of underwear. But Bill Clinton was asked that very question on MTV when he was running for president in 1992. Of course, one could make the argument that Bush would have never agreed to go on MTV!

Bill Clinton ran a campaign targeting the youth vote and created the image of himself as a “cool dude.” So, he played right into the MTV generation’s hands—they have no boundaries and no respect for decorum and manners. Thus you get a girl like Monica Lewinsky who had the gall to literally show her butt to the President of the United States.

So, with the MTV interview and the Lewinsky affair, the question is: what was it about Bill Clinton that he created an environment where an interviewer and an intern felt comfortable enough to do what they did?

What was it about Beyoncé that made Morgan feel comfortable asking her about her booty? The White House has used her extensively to promote positive images among young girls and to teach them how to demand respect from the opposite sex.

Could Beyoncé have created this environment by making her money off of prancing around on stage damn near nude? She seems to be incapable of keeping her clothes on while on stage, though she is talented enough not to need these types of gimmicks to sell her product.

Below is the aforementioned dialogue between Morgan and Beyoncé:

Morgan: “The big question really that I need to ask you; you are J-Lo?”

Beyoncé: “Me or who?”

Morgan: “J-Lo.”

Beyoncé: “WHAT? (laughing like a little kid, noticeably taken aback with the question)

Morgan: “Who has the best booty?

Beyoncé: “You are crazy (giggling). J-lo (referring to her having the best booty—again, laughing nervously like a little kid).
