Well, I'd bet a lot of the reporters did know what questions to ask but there was no point in asking them because the target audience with these stories were local people who wanted an alternative way to power their car and wanted to know what the benefits of this innovation could be, not how it works. The point is, even if the reporters had asked the questions, the answers would have ended up on the editing room floor because the target audience wouldn't care, or worse change the channel.
