For those complaining about this being a puff piece about groupon... understand that a media company has little to no incentive to take companies like groupon to task. Sure they may ask one or two mildly tough questions that may address some issues that people have with the company, but if they truly hit hard they would go out of business. No one wants to do an interview where they will be sweating the entire time, and journalists who gain a tough reputation will soon be circling the classifieds. This explains why someone like Larry King can be extremely successful, yet there aren't any hard hitting interviewers out there.
- lusr 15y agoTim Sebastian hosting HARDtalk was the only true hard hitting interviewer I've ever seen, although I suppose the BBC doesn't count as a traditional media company. I was disappointed with the quality of his successors; they turned HARDtalk into a talk show. Does anybody know of any current shows with a similar interview style?
