But here's the problem.
That's just as bad.
Those aren't interviews. These are just opportunities for these talking heads to score points.
Seriously... an interview is not supposed to simply be the interviewer stating whatever opinion they had going into it, over and over again. She could have done that in an article... titled it "Hey, I think Cheney was wrong". There was no reason for him to be present there. She wasn't going to listen to anything he had to say and change her mind.
It's like tv and other journalism has been dumbed down to the level of an online forum.
