How do you tell if Meghan Markle is lying in her interview with Oprah? ?
Favourite answer:Her lips are moving. Once an actress, always an actress. Why didn't whining Harry say somethings to the family about this? He said on the show that he did not. I think these are two people who feed off each other and make a their own disasters.

Is it true that Larry King never prepared for interviews?
Larry himself said that, and that his reasoning was that the average audience member knew little or nothing about a given show guest. So he preferred to begin as they would begin, and learn about the guest during the course of the show. Is that even humanly possible?

My boyfriend is obsessed with Ellen DeGeneres ?
He never misses a show and is really bothered by me not being a fan of her. He will drop whatever we are doing to go watch Ellen when it comes on. He has even said multiple times that Ellen is the only person he would leave me for. How do I get him to tone it down with his obsession.?

Has Stephen Colbert always been so bad as an interviewer?
Favourite answer:Honestly, most "journalists" are bad interviewers and most talk show hosts are even worse. If you're a talk show host you're usually trying to softball the interview because you don't want to scare off future interview opportunities and most people who appear on your show are there to promote a book or a movie or whatever.
But Journalists are terrible too because in the modern media climate, journalists have become celebrities. So they want their interview to act as virtue signalling to increase their prestige. They don't give a flying f--k about truth or information anymore. So for popular people they give soft interviews...often even helping the subject through tough questions. I saw an "interview" with Joe Biden where Biden was struggling so badly it was painful to watch and the interviewer was feeding him answers in the pretext of the question AND during his answer. And when the interview target is not part of the in-crowd, they absolutely savage them with unfair gotcha questions, emotional appeals, cutting them off and so forth.
And I don't mean that only left journalists do this. Fox's Hannity and others have elevated this nonsense to an art form.
IMHO, the best interviewer currently operating is, and don't laugh, Joe Rogan. I'm a veyr recent convert to his podcast and while his choice of guests is often dreadful, his interviewing skills are absolutely outstanding when he isn't just shooting the breeze. He asks thoughtful, insightful questions in non-confrontational ways...and then LETS HIS SUBJECT TALK. It's something you never see on TV or hear on radio anymore. Rogan actually lets people express COMPLETE THOUGHTS. But he also doesn't let them get away with half-answers. He will come back with follow-up pointing out problems or issues with fake answers...yet does so non-confrontationally so that the interview never descends into a screaming match.
Rogan's podcast has alot of defects - like his tendency towards conspiracy - but he's the best long-form interviewer going. Every journalist school should start a course with Rogan at it's center to teach interviewing.

How come NBC did not terminate Ellen DeGeneres show after the scandal? ?
They SHOULD HAVE! Ellen is NOT as nice as she pretends to be on the show! She is a hypocrite! Besides, I think she has made enough fame and fortune for herself, from the show that she doesn’t even need it anymore! Her net worth is $490 million!

Why do tv hosts like Steve Harvey or Ellen degeneres read off giant placards instead of doing their own thing?
It’s kinda obvious they aren’t doing their own thing. Would the shows be better without it scripted

How can Oprah lecture White People on "White Privilege"?
Favourite answer:She cannot but it demonstrates that many African American insist on being seen as a victim, even multi-billionaires. Liberals have their narrative of "White privilege" and no amount of discussion or debate will alter their determination to hammer Caucasians for their "crime" of being born White which of course comes with a host of privileges that NO African American could ever aspire to have. It's telling that she lectures the "Little People" and not her many Caucasian millionaire and billionaire friends and colleges.
