An interview by a news-media type of another news-media type is like a doctor operating on only other doctors … a chef cooking only for other chefs … a musician playing only for other musicians.
Barbara Walters being interviewed on NPR is a waste of air time. (May 7, I think the promo said.)
Same with talk-show hosts appearing on other people’s talk shows. Sean Hannity on Bill O’Reilly’s show, for example. Chris Matthews on Jon Stewart's show.
If I were a booker or a producer, I could certainly find fresh faces for my show, not the same old potato-heads.
Baba Wawa I’ve seen, again and again and again. Show me somebody different!
Truth in blogging: I rather liked B.W., until I bought and read a book she wrote, 25 years ago or so. Her ego was so oppressively, massively worthless that I wanted my money back. Since then, I avoid her like the plague.
