Tough interview- and a lesson learned
Came across this interview recently. U.S. Senator Kirk Watson appears on MSNBC’s Hardball as an Obama supporter, facing off against a Hillary supporter. Host Chris Matthews asks Watson a pretty simple question that leaves him staring helplessly at the camera for much of the segment.
Someone with Watson’s experience and, undoubtedly, his vast PR resources should never have found himself in this position. Especially not on national TV.
It’s yet another reminder that anyone speaking to a reporter – not matter how senior, experienced or smart they may be – needs to put in the prep time, and expect the unexpected.
