Gotcha Journalism

Gotcha Journalism (liberal plot)
 * 1) the journalistic equivalent of a terrorist car bomb, where a reporter asks a question to a candidate or elected public official on a subject they would have no way of knowing anything about

Examples:
 * asking a governor, who brags about having extensive foreign policy cred, about foreign policy
 * asking a representative, who wants The Ten Commandments in every courtroom, to name them
