Stephanopolos always was a decent but extremely tough to conservatives interviewer. That didn't bother me because we know the deck is stacked against constitutional conservatives, so the ones that would survive could do well in spite of his bias.

But that verbal assault against the author of the Clinton Cash book? That went way too far. The author did real well. The result was Stepanopolos came out looking like the political plant he is.

There's no question he should go. JMHO

Stephy could not have timed that hatchet job worse.

“extremely tough to conservatives”

Doesn’t bother me that an interviewer is tough or throws gotchas as long as they do it to all of their interviewees.

I like the gotchas because if the interviewee knows his business he should be able to dust them off and turn them around and start interviewing the interviewer.

A dangerous advantage interviewers sometimes have is that they can edit the interview before it’s broadcast.

Famously, Couric gotcha’ed Palin. I blamed Palin for that.
