The media does bait. Personally, I think it's important for team leaders to respond appropriately in those situations. Everyone in the room knew the reporter was being reckless with his questions. They didn't need Baker going off on him to know it. While the reporter deserved it, Baker has to be smarter than this.
They all have a lot to prove. Jackson has a high chance of getting hurt early in his career if he keeps doing what he's doing.
