You did not use “begs the question” correctly, but then neither do 99% of journalists, a group you might expect to know better.
In the context that you use, “begs” would be synonymous with “raises”, and that’s the mistake that everyone makes: “begs” actually means “evades”.
when I googled I got "raise a question or point that has not been dealt with; invite an obvious question." Maybe I picked the wrong cite.
Tell me, what is an example of a question that "begs" for my comment?
