I was watching some 60 minutes thing today where they were interviewing kim dotcom and the guy doing the interview kinda lobbed some hardball/confrontational questions at him and for some reason i got to thinking that i'd like to see the same with obama, or really any recent presidents.

why does he always make it worse why isn't it ever 'more of the same'

if you actually worked for press people you'd run against the media conglomerates that control your life and your ability to freely report is severely limited to the point of parody and to be honest maybe it always was
