You've obviously noted the differences in interview styles depending on whether the interviewee is Pubbie or Dim. In addition to the fact the utopian dreamers in the media are joined at the hip with the Dims the response from Pubbies and Dims is entirely different. As you've noted when presented with tough questions, Dims begin to come unraveled....they become hostile. Whereas Pubbies almost to a person remain cool to the interviewer.
Now that shouldnt' make much difference to a seasoned journalist, but the only one they will continue to bore in on is the Pubbie. Not only are they the enemy, but they tend to react in a more subdued manner. They're an easy mark!

Not only were they hostile .. they tried like heck to AVOID answering the questions
