Better Days

Just watched an interview on CNN in which the interviewee seemed to think it was a good idea to rant at the interviewer for his 10 minutes of air-time. As a result the interview was extremely difficult to listen to, which was a pity as the case the interviewee was putting was genuinely interesting, even if you fundamentally disagreed with his political position. I can remember a time in which politicians being interviewed generally seemed to think it was a good idea to sound reasonable in their arguments and seek to win the good opinion of most viewers. I suppose I'm naïve in hoping we might see such days again.
