[Imagine that a journalist makes these statements or asks these questions during a press conference or one-on-one interview, and after a non-answer or word-salad or a changing of the subject has taken place.
“Would you like me to repeat my question so that you may answer it instead of changing the subject?”
“Do you recognize that what you’ve just said has absolutely nothing to do with what I asked you?”
“Excuse me, but you’re not answering the question as it was asked.”
“You’re avoiding the issue, that is not what I asked you.”
“I understand that you want to speak about that topic, however, my question was on a completely different topic.”
