I understand how/why so many people here have come to hate the media (for good reason re., people like Tomase, Borges, Tanguay, Felger, etc.). Yet, Curran, Reiss and others sincerely work hard at their jobs with intent to inform readers/listeners and part of that is asking important questions they know might not be answered. They still must be asked so an official record is established that (A) the information was sought and (B) the information was denied or given. That's just part of the journalistic process, and an important one regardless.
BB is chatty when the mood strikes him or if he's personally interested in the subject matter, not necessarily because he has been asked a good question. His refusal to answer questions that might offer the opponent a competitive advantage or involve sensitive league matters like cameragate, framegate, etc. totally is understandable. Yet, his reluctance to cooperate goes way beyond that to the point of being unnecessarily obstinate. Again, he gets away with treating the media poorly because he wins. If someone like Mike Mularkey or Jack Del Rio acted like BB toward the media they'd probably get told to be more cooperative or be out of a job.
I don't care that BB is an uncooperative ass to the media all that much simply because he does win, and his crankiness is kind of entertaining at times. But I think we tend to blame the media for this more than we should. Just imagine how much more interesting it would be for all of us if BB opened up just a little more -- not with things that would compromise him competitively, but in small ways offering insight to great coaching and great organization.
