Dumb Interview

I wanted to comment on the interview of  Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by Ann Curry of NBC.

Now Ann is a regular on the Today program and I generally find her a good source of information, but this interview was juvenile to say the least.

Did she really expect to learn anything by asking “Mr. President, did you steal the election?”  The rest of the interview was no improvement.

I can’t believe that Ann actually dreamed up those questions.  Surely they were conceived by some recent college grad program director.

I’ll give Ann a pass on this one, but one more inane interview and it’s over for me.  I’ll just shut down when she speaks.

This was something I might have expected from Katie Couric.  I haven’t listened to her since she left the Today show where her silly interviews were at least somewhat entertaining.  (I don’t really expect NEWS from the Today Show, but I’m occasionally impressed by Matt Lauer who can present news with some authority.)
