The so-called "reporters" for this particular online station are the worst. They don't seem prepared, they get their information wrong and they ask the worst questions. Seriously what was the point of her immediately asking the Italian actress what she thinks of the war in Iraq? It was out of the blue and puts the actress in a tough position if she has negative views of the war and has to tell that to an American reporter in a medium going out to the American public.

(Hibbs4Prez) Thank you for your critique, and thank you for watching. The point of her asking the question is because it is a war movie, and if you heard her previous interview with the other outlet, she was speaking very candidly on her feelings on the war. If you feel different, you are free to your opinion, but since I produced this segment, I think it was the right question, and the reporter did a good job. If we are the worst, who did a better interview with the actress? Link?

Shit I actually thought the video in general was pretty good. I mean she did ask the same question to Laz Alonso- who by the way gave a good interview- But her question is no different than the many questions that reporters ask in order to pry into a public figures thoughts. how is it any Different than asking an actor who he/she(s) sleeping with? It does happen! Ill tell u the difference. Usually that question has nothing to do with the interview plot. In this case, hers was at least related.

Now THE REAL TRUTH IS SPIKE LEE HAS A VAGINA AND IS ONE BIG NASTY MOTHER FUCKER! THATS THE ONLY REASON HE IS THE BIG DIRECTOR! AND HARD HIS BIGGEST TURN ON IS MAKING people EAT SHIT AND THANK HIM FOR IT!!! FUCKING NASTY SHIT! NOT ONE PENIS IN THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW! NOT ONE!
