'In the prog, the poor interviewer attempted to interview with all 5 big banks and all refused, this tells us how accountable they are (not) to us!'

I have a response to this which has nothing to do with finance or with the ethics of banking. My response is that I would never agree to an interview by a television person either. I know too much of what those people can do to an unsuspecting interviewee.

Just one example: they send out an interview who is obviously hostile. He snarls questions, hardly gives the person time to think, cuts him off, etc. Then for the TV program, they substitute questions asked in a courteous, reasonable manner. Result: you look nervous, jumpy - i.e., guilty.

I read about this in the Kansas City Star, a major newspaper. I have no trouble believing it.

Besides, which one person would a huge bank choose who would be knowledgeable about all its operations?
