Is Kara Swisher always this bad of an interviewer?

The Murray-Geena Davis story has blown up again because Davis appeared on Kara Swisher's podcast.

Wow, Swisher is a stunningly bad interviewer.

Swisher is like a student who doesn't actually know anything, but feels she must interject with non-sequitors, half-remembered facts and arguments that have nothing to do with anything.

Swisher:

- Attempts to claim that Thelma and Louise "allegedly" committed suicide (but not necessarily literally).

- Keeps asking whether "Thelma and Louise" has "aged well".

- Declares that "Beetlejuice" was Davis' big break.

- Attempts to get Davis to criticise her "Tootsie" role.

- Argues there has been no female-driven sports films since "A League of Their Own".

- Doesn't really ask fully-formed questions as opposed to simply demanding that Davis "talk about" a subject.

It was 20 minutes long yet it never ended.

Davis seems like a good sport because she politely corrects Swisher's more innacurate statements while demuring at the provocations.

Did she decline to munch your box, OP?

I met her at a conference. Smug bitch. The Ellen of Silicon Valley; the persona packages up a lot of anger.

She’s part of the problem

That hottie Ben McKenzie dragged her for being a shill for crypto currency. She finally did an episode of her podcast where she tried to distance herself from the debacle after the FTX collapse, but it was too late to salvage her reputation.

She's an angry lesbian that wishes she could sleep with Elon Musk.

I like her acting.

As a person, not so much.

Kara Swisher is a mixed bag. Does she really have the insider access to everyone everywhere that she claims?

She is very smug.

Still, I don't mind difficult lesbians of her type.

Cannot stand Kara Swisher, a smug shill for Netflix who had to hastily backpedal when Wall Street woke up and fell out of love with it last year. I get that movies aren’t her beat, but she’s blazingly ignorant about them.

Yes, she has great access to tech firms.

She’s also one of the only journalists out there who will really push in interviews. I still recall an interview with a relatively sensible Repub congressman. When he tried to defend the Big Lie, she was like, “Oh, come on. You expect us to believe you actually believe any of that nonsense?” And when he continued to try to make vague statements bout irregularities, she openly mocked him for it.

We need more like her.

R11 yes that's the part of the mixed bag I appreciate.
