The interview read like a bad movie.

Asking the same question many times to try to get the "perp" to slip. Hanging light bulb shining in his face. Attacking "perps" intelligence.
Did George get confused and think he was interrogating trump, who is an actual "perp" ?

Sloppy work. Maybe George should consider stepping down.

1. Biden needs to stick with campaign appearances in front of crowds with a teleprompter.

He's been outstanding in those venues.

No more debates or interviews...

2. I picture George being called on the carpet

In the ABC CEO’s office , sweaty knees shaking rubbing a bottle of imported seltzer across his forehead stammering
‘ I tried … I really tried … HE JUST WOULDNT BREAK ! ‘

As the bottled water slips from his sweaty palm , and spills upon his shoe

An experienced interviewer at the top of his game would never have a bad day like that. George needs to reassess his capacity to continue. I imagine the stress of all those weekly shows takes it’s toll.

George, why do you repeat the same question over and over again? You poor thing, you don't remember you just asked it a minute ago?
Time to replace you with a younger model, George.

++Poorly planned on GS's part. No communications expert would have conducted him or herself like this.

It should have been a smooth, conversational experience. One can still elicit the necessary information without it sounding like it's a police detective interview.

11. It's like you are afraid Biden will crack

These type of interviews are to be expected after Biden's performance at the debate.

Biden appears willing to take the heat and from I've read so far, handled the interview well.

I have faith in Biden.

Some here appear not to.

14. Then don't worry about how the media is treating Biden

People who have faith in Biden are talking about how well he handled the interview.

People who have doubts about Biden are not and are instead focusing on the nature of the interview

12. Yes, to get the confession. Like one of those true crime shows. Police make up their minds suspect is guilty,

stop investigating any further.

Same as Hillary and the Email Worst Crime of the Twenty-First Century that vanished overnight. Democrats are always hiding something, not being honest, guilty and must be forced to confess and punished, that's the rule. Republicans are just being themselves, authentic, telling it like it is. For whatever reason this is normal for media.
