I dont think that lady reporter did any thing wrong asking the question raised above. Actually reporter is supposed to ask the question and let the person question being asked say why she is wearing the helmet. It does not matter whether reporter knows why or not, it is not what reporter should concern. Reporters should not pass their judgement. Most reporter in south Asia (may be every where ) pass their judgement directly (in Nepal i see it quite much) and/ or in some dubious way. In nepali news i almost always see, 'people think this and that', "some people say", "a governement officer says " , "people are raising the question that and this" and so on. This is the dubious way to pass the judgement (presstitue better word coined nowadays) rather than the people say what they want to say.
