Wow!... He was good , Arianna but you were better.
Not exactly a typical fluff interview, While I think he managed to land some punches, you never really lost your balance and, you clearly came out on top.
Your Oxford debating skills served you well....(I wouldn't be surprised if the interviewer had debate experience also).

They are very good on this show at throwing your words back at you, and trying to put you in an uncomfortable situation with what you say. Its actually like the "Meet the Press" of Britain. In the same way that the Late great Tim Russert used to hold prominent figures and politicians to the fire. I thought she handled it well

I like how about 10 minutes in, Arianna says she'll do anything she can to use the truth to oppose McCain, and the host immediately paraphrases and attacks her by dropping the qualifier regarding the truth. She called him on it but I wish she'd really driven home how he distorted what she said...which seems to be standard MSM procedure.

I do have to give the guy credit for putting AH on his show and giving her ample time to discuss her views.

You go, Arianna!

I admire you for your composure! That Stephen Sackur guy was being an absolute a**!

He kept misrepresenting everything you said, spewing talking point after talking point, and never really listened!

I know I would have smacked him one...
