I have been watching some of the clips posted on Twitter of some of her interviews. The matter of fact way she would call people on their BS without even slightly raising her voice is jarring when compared to journalists today. It was going to be an interview. She would give the subject of the interview room for their talking points early but once that was done, the interviewee was going to answer her fair questions or be called out for doing so.
