Yeah, right, she's right up there with Larry King. Listening to someone talk and asking a follow up question doesn't make a great interviewer - I can do that. Getting the interviewee to talk about something that they don't want to talk about, probing the inner depths of an interviewee, is what makes a great interviewer. Katie does not have that ability, and she never has. A small circle of people on the east coast constantly tell her how great she is (to her and us), and she starts believing it. Guess what? The rest of us don't .
