Coaching in the media has been inconsistently valued forever, and I wonder what kind of coaching is being offered today, or who’s doing it.

You need to be prepared to push back, to challenge (whether or not, that is, you agree with the spin they’re offering), and to repeat key questions when they’re not being answered.

Most interviews suck. Most interviews have little reason to exist in the first place, not if the host, anchor, or reporter isn't going to ask the tough questions the audience wants answered.
