What should she expect when condescending him. And boy, are these math labs nerds vicious — veritable mongrels for the kill, lol. Michael your smarter than making hay of this.

Don’t you moderate your comments around here? You’ve been spammed at least 4 times on this post alone – unless, of course, you think that ‘Watch Handbags” & “China Kitchen Cabinets” are relevant to this conversation?!

@ lemonobrien

I have a graduate degree in journalism – and started programming in 1984…none of that focuses on the issue that happened at the conference with her interview.

It was a poorly done interview – no preparation (it appeared), a lack of understanding about the audience and a weak job at taking care of the source in a professional way.

Be shitty all you want – the reality is, it was a whiff. The end of the world? No. But definitely a three-strike, sit-down whiff.

@ Simon Brocklehurst

If your best defense of a journalist is that the person being interviewed thought it was okay – then you FAIL when it comes to understanding what journalism is.

I watched the interview and it was ridiculous. She flirted with him half the time and attempted to add her own jokes that were basically making fun of him. That’s great that they may have a long relationship or spoken many times but she did not shed a light on him as a CEO. He sounded embarrassed with the one story she told about him and he tried to wrangle her in when she got very off topic. This should be a sign to the interviewer how he wants it to be conducted. When the crowd called her out, Mark tried to smooth the tension, since she was yelling “Jesus Christ”. She could of politely calmed down while he finished his answer to the attendees question. But she just gets more mad and then brings it up 2 more times ending the interview with “sorry i put you guys through an hour of torture, geez, send me an email to tell me why it was so bad!” (at which point someone yelled “give me your email address”)

Insane!!
