Watching Ron Paul on Pier Morgan.

6. Why news hosts let their interviewee off the hook?

Hosts and journalists are afraid of badgering their guests because they are afraid that they won't get any one on their shows. Politicians will refuse to go on. Look at the Rachael Maddow show, she made Rand Paul try to defend his idiotic civil rights stance. Now he refuses and other GOP refuse to go.
I use to take pictures of local soccer games. I needed to get group pictures of the team. If I waited to take a group picture after the game, the winners would ham over the picture. the losing team would walk off and refused to get their picture taken. Because they knew that the picture would have a caption of losing in it.
As a photojournalist I speak from practical experience.
