Last week, '60 Minutes', considered the gold-standard of magazine news shows in the US, interviewed Felicity Huffman.
You'd think they'd want a more substantive interview than "ET", but apparently not...
When Felicity was asked (by Lesley Stahl, I think) if childhood was the best thing that ever happened to her, Stahl recoiled when Huffman said "no"--- they let that air, as Huffman pointed-out that they of course wanted a more drippy media-typical answer.
Stahl went on to prove Huffman right when the latter responded that most people --- alomst everyone -- are really unconfortable in their own skin, and that she's not unusual in that way.... At which point "serious" journalist Stahl, the fool, recoiled again and assured Huffman that she, Huffman, was a superlative-sensitive in this area too (as opposed to being perfectly normal not being comfortable in her own skin), presumably because she was the one being interviewed at the moment.
Huffman, clearly weary of battling this piercingly in-depth cross-examination by moron-Stahl, relented, and from that point on, gave "60 Minutes" the shallow, idiot answers they so desperately wanted--- and demanded.
I wish Felicity had been armed... And I dont even like her crap show!
