It appears to me that Mr. Deutsch was attempting to twist Miss Coulter's word into something that they were not. He strikes me as an exceptionally dishonest interviewer.
Your welcome. I’ve read the transcript more than once and I had the same impression you did. Although I also had the feeling Mr. Deutsch was trying to create a “GOTCHA” moment.
The cynic in me tells me Mr. Deutsch and Media Matter’s work in cahoots with one another. I have no proof of that, of course, but wouldn’t be surprised if they each had one another on speed dial.
