The US media v The UK Media

I’m continually amazed by the interviewing conducted by US media in ‘hard-hitting’ interviews, so much so that on seeing the clip below, I thought that finally something was going right with the US news channels.

Turns out this was an isolated case, and that the McCain campaign has now pulled out of doing an interview with Larry King becase “The McCain campaign said it believed that exchange was over the line and as a result the interview scheduled for Larry King Live with Sen. McCain was pulled. CNN does not believe that Campbell’s interview was over the line. We are committed to fair coverage of both sides of this historic election.

According to Think Progress… “Campaign staffers “even considered pulling out of one of the three presidential debates because it would be moderated by Tom Brokaw, a former NBC News anchorman.’ ”

Oh if only Paxman (Newsnight) and Humphries (The Today Show) were in the game…

And if you want to dream, here’s Paxman interviewing Ann Coulter.
