'WE DON'T ANSWER THAT'
AP Releases Cringe-Inducing Cosby Questions Cut From Interview
digg.com
Bill Cosby's disastrous media blitz continues with the release of footage from an interview with the Associated Press earlier this month. Per usual, Cosby refuses to answer questions about long-time and recent rape allegations. But the AP kept the cameras rolling as Cosby awkwardly lambasts the journalist for daring to ask questions on the issue, and demands that they "scuttle" parts of the interview. Frankly the AP doesn't come off so great either, having clearly originally decided not to run the footage and only airing it now that Cosby's alleged crimes are part of the national conversation.
