People Inc. interview questions

I had a phone interview with the recruiter for the company, who asked questions that made it clear, to me at least, that they'd never worked on the ground level of a news organization. Additionally, when I asked the questions I'd prepared, every answer was met with, "You'd have to ask the hiring manager." Perhaps the hiring manager should be the one doing these screenings then. I never heard back, and the job was reposted on LinkedIn, which makes me wonder if they're hiring at all, since she allegedly had a whole week's worth of interviews lined up. Not sure if they simply didn't find a perfect unicorn or if it's something else.
