(18,486 posts)It's easy to lie, show off, and pontificate in short soundbytes. But if you're asking intelligent, well-researched questions, that can take a lot longer.

(32,626 posts)I like that she prefaces a question, with background so that it is understood, as much as the answer. To each their own. I hear CNN is pretty good these days.

(21,841 posts)She asks the complicated questions. She said she read the entire book, even though she hadn't planned on it.
She is THOROUGH.

liars like long questions, because they get to choose which part of the question to answer, and they very rarely answer the important part.
They're also easier to sidetrack.

(25,477 posts)She repeats the commonly known history with the question as though the viewer and the subject are completely ignorant. Then she restates the question from another viewpoint. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

I was actually surprised at her interview with Cohen tonight. They both laughed a lot, which is unusual.

(25,477 posts)Did she ask him about Epstein? And why Trump wanted a piece of Cohens 15 year old daughter.
