To the Contrary

Nov 05, 2013

PBS

I flew to Washington D.C. to be interviewed for this program. The interview lasted 45 minutes and allowed me to truly discuss the issues. When the program aired, I saw, along with the rest of America, that my long interview had been edited down to about 4 minutes which appeared in four one minute segments. These short bursts were then discussed by five women at a roundtable who had probably not read my book and had not seen the longer interview. This is how show business works—but I wish I could have been there at the roundtable to be part of the give and take.

Maybe next time.
