This is from the Bob Newhart Show. It's comedy but it's also a very real example of "hit-and-run" "gotcha" media as you will see when you watch the video.

This 2 min. video shows the same technique used by Cathy Newman interviewing Mr. Peterson.

Before the interview begins, Ms. Newman is cordial, open, welcoming, pleasant, and friendly.

This is done to mislead and disarm the defenses of the mark/victim.

The mark is then at ease believing he's going to engage in a mutually respectful and reasoned discussion.

Once the interview begins, the gloves come off and the knives come out.

The mark is stunned and caught off guard. He looks confused because he is confused by the dramatic change in the situation. If he's not aware of what's going on he's going to be made to look guilty or a bumbling fool.

Any conservative who agrees to an interview with any media person must be knowledgeable as to what to expect and how to defend themselves.

As friendly as they may first appear members of the Democratic Media Complex are not your friend.

They are the enemy. They are not your friend. They are there to destroy both you and your ideology.

Your post reminds me of the recent Jordan Peterson interview. It's all the rage and very hilarious. I recommend it. It's all over youtube. I bet if you search on youtube for "Jordan Peterson interviews" you can find it. He later said the interviewer was very cordial to him in the green room, then turned into a whole nother person once the interview started. Just like you describe in your post.

Spoiler alert. At one point he renders her speechless. So fun to watch.
