I saw that interview and I remember thinking at the time, why don't all ‘journalists’ approach all issues just that way?

The interviewee didn't get a single inch if wiggle room, like interviewees are used to getting in the typical puff piece on other networks. The interviewee had only to answer simple direct questions put in a simple direct way. THAT would keep ALL public officials honest! When did we EVER get into the chatty and chummy interviews that produce no information and are really just an opportunity for two idiots with over sized egos to see themselves all over the screen?

I think it happened when CNN started out giving Larry King his own show, and now everybody in media wants to be the next Larry King.

I think Barbara Wah-Wah had something to do with that.
