I don't have a problem with that, Ron, and I know I am speaking in generalities here. That is borne of watching this show in the morning for years. Again, if I am using the Today Show example, I never had a problem with Lauer's technique. He has pretty well been direct, and refuses to let the Interviewee off the hook. Russert is another one like this. You can try spin with him, but he will make sure the audience understands that well. With Couric, it has always seemed to me, she came at it from the angle of having a bias and then attempting to prove it. Just my opinion. And as I said above, she seems to do well on the CBS Evening News. I tuned in just to watch her debut, and now find myself watching this broadcast, one of many news related shows I watch and listen to.
