Whether anything in the interview is interesting, true, etc. is totally irrelevant to the question at hand of Wright's attitude to the government, which is why this is a puff piece. Moyer should have asked Wright some tough questions about those statements and gotten some answers from him. He didn't do that. He gave Wright friendly, open-ended questions and let him talk about whatever he wanted. That's not journalism, it's a talk show.
Once again, you seem to be doing everything possible not to talk about the actual substance of Wright's statements and what it means for Obama's campaign.
