    3rd degree

    Whatever happened to investigative journalism?

    I never watch 3rd Degree on etv any more as Debora Patta's interviewing style is too much for me. Last night I thought I'd give it a whirl as I wanted to see J. Arthur Brown worm his way out of a corner, as Ms Patta had promised in the lead-up to the interview. Alas, it was yet another rant by her that gave him very little time to say anything, let alone "worm". I always thought one of the golden rules of interviewing is to ask a question and keep quiet. Very few people can handle silence and invariably end up saying something they had no intention of revealing. Her "interview" left me speechless. If only I can say the same of her.
