Reporters SHOULD ask "tough" (gotcha) questions, it's their role, it doesn't mean they want nuclear war, or escalation, or anything but a slip up they can write about.  It's the usual give and take game played in DC.  Reporters are always looking for a "gotcha".  Asking why we're not getting more military aid to Ukraine is a legitimate question in my mind.  I don't view this as wanting massive escalation, it's their job to ask such things.

I suppose with a good bit of hyperbole we can conflate that with "everyone the media" asking for nuclear war.
those are not tough gotcha questions. those are stupid ass questions that anybody with a brain knows would LEAD TO NUCLEAR WAR. You can't impose a no fly zone without striking Russian military radar and surface to air missile defense systems and then shooting down Russian aircraft. That LITERALLY means WWIII.

What are you talking about? Asking why we aren't getting more military aid to Ukraine is not a legitimate question. It's a stupid and asinine one. The US has been training and funding Ukraine for about 8 years and they've been arming them to the teeth for about 5 years (since Trump) to the tune of billions and billions of dollars, and the US literally just approved a military aid package of another $14 billion.

Not everything that happens need be so dramatic, a lot of it is just "stuff".

I suppose we could insist the press only ask softball questions of the President's media spox of course.

I'm assuming he misspoke, but this is a really bad time to misspeak on this particular subject.

There is zero doubt the Russian propagandists will latch onto it and say, "See, we TOLD you the USA was going to send in troops!"
