Definitely not the case. Higgins' office got a lot of TV time, but the most embarrassing stuff was the poor besotted DFL Rep. (whose name I don't remember, but not a Mpls guy) who missed votes and was too hammered to recognize what the issues were watching them from a Senator's office. Other lobbyists were also shown. However, it's fair to say Higgins was a focus, and - in my personal opinion - Fox was able to exploit her refusal to talk on-camera to make her look bad.
