...as usual.
I was a little disappointed in the overall interview, but it was not because of what was actually discussed. I didn't like the setup at all. The delay caused by having Martha Raddatz on location in the ME was very distracting to both her interview style and Kerry's, IMO.
I think Raddatz is a good reporter. She is knowledgeable, asks great questions and does follow up well. And we all know how good Secretary Kerry is on Q and A. But the satellite delay inhibited her interview style and made it uncomfortable to watch. I think Kerry handled it well, but it would have been a better interview if they had been in the same room.. or at least the same country.
This is only speculation, but I would guess that ABC wanted to bolster Raddatzs credentials by having her on location (understandable after Williams/OReilly). But I think it was not helpful to the overall interview. JMHO.
