Disrespectful and unprofessional
I really appreciate journalists pushing back at politician. That is the only way to get them to say anything close to an answer. Kara is sharp and knowledgeable. However, in this interview with Pelosi, she was impatient and the “aha, uhu, right” while the guest was talking is so disrespectful and condescending (and annoying). Also, live interview often has time constraint and the host need to cut in to meet the time. This is podcast. You don’t have the time constraint, so why be so impatient and keep jumping and cut them off so often? I agreed you need to not letting politician use your platform for propaganda but you can be more professional in managing that.
