I understand your position, but I don't see why this is cause for getting worked up.

After 9/11, the media famously asked rapper Ja Rule what he thought of the terrorist attacks. Obviously he wasn't an expert in international relations or counterinsurgency tactics. If it offends you that the media ask celebrities and well known individuals what their opinion is, then I scarcely can imagine any mass media channel that won't raise your blood pressure.

I'd just ignore it and move on. Media wants clicks, it is what it is.
