She didn't come in prepared to have a nuanced conversation about private equity firm or hedge fund acquisitions of residential living spaces, so I'm not surprised that she tried to nope out of the conversation. There are thousands of topics I can't hold up a conversation about, but I think it would be awesome for reporters to do a 15 seconds of fame rule in these cases. Just state "i've got nothing to contribute, but you have the next 15 seconds," and then let them cook.

Uhhhh, this is who she works for. There is a legitimate financial reason not to say “I’ve got nothing to contribute, but you have the next 15 seconds.”
This is why she is a class traitor.
