That was what you were supposed to see.
They let this woman drone on for that very reason. It was obvious. CNN could have Vladamir Putin in an interview and would have cut to go to commercials/interrupted him more than this woman. Why did they giver her so much time? Allowed moments of awkward silence? They wanted her to look dumb.
Well, first this woman is a professional radio announcer, she knows how to handle herself on the air.
The reason why she looked dumb is because this is a dumb controversy. A comedian made bad jokes. Oh, noes.
Being a drama queen about it 10 years later is kind of silly.
What I took away from this is that these are two people who had to make a very long trip somewhere, and got on each others nerves.
That said, I guess she has a legitimate complaint about sexual harassment, if she had filed a complaint 10 years ago.
I agree, I saw a few minutes of it and it was awkward and kind of weird. But again, I do believe that was intentional on the part of CNN. This did not merit more than maybe 2 minutes tops. There is just not enough of a story to go on for 15-20 minutes, no matter what the story was it would have looked awkward.
Geraldo himself would have had trouble trying to stretch more than 5 minutes out of this.
