Interview? What Interview?

Did anyone watch the interview with Mugabe last night? Not that it should really be called an interview the journalist didn't seem to really want to challenge the so called president on any of the points he made. It struck me as free propaganda time, in a prime time slot.

It's no good boosting that you have an interview with a figure of dispute if you don't do anything really in that space of the interview. Just working on the basis that now that you have the interview, you don't want to ask any real questions that might upset your guest, isn't what should be wear the label of good or in depth journalism.

I mean Mugabe found and was allowed to nearly side step every question that came his way. Even when ask about some journalists not being allowed to report on the election did he go on at length about how there was some plot going on with the BCC trying to bring observers not just journalist, instead of answering the question. It seems to me the BBC wasn't the only news organisation that was refused for some unexplained reason. Why wasn't he ask why some of the more liberal South African news stations weren't allowed to cover his elections

I was going to comment on how I expected more in depth coverage from a program that was at least tonight hosted by an Ex-702 journalist, who I at one point really admired as one of the better newsreaders on radio, but I am not going to comment, cause I think the shame that person should feel for hosting this shambles of an interview, should be enough.
