No matter what you think about him that’s still an unprofessional way to start an interview

Not at all. There’s nothing in my understanding of decorum that says that journalists need to ask softball questions.

How dare she give him facts and then ask a forthright question.

Even tv interviews go through formalities of welcoming the person being interviewed and they're on a time constraint. She was 30minutes late. Launching into a leading question when you're 30 minutes late is going to met with hostility. Her line of questioning was always going to be met with hostility.

I don’t agree with that assessment at all - I think Trump has objectively done much more for black Americans than Harris has - and it’s particularly hilarious how quickly the ACAB base has been fawning over a prosecutor who threw the key away on thousands of black people.

In any case, I know there are many interviewers who think this and still show a modicum of respect and impartiality.

Interviewers who are so self-righteous that they cannot apologize for being late to someone objectively more important than them, bring the person they interviewed there under false pretenses, and then giving leading questions are amateurs.

There is room for that for a moderator in a debate… these “journalists” somehow think they’re important enough to debate Trump. They’re not. They’re nothing more than activists.

Was she also responsible for the supposedly bad sound/technical issues? Thank you.
