I've never worked in television, but does the reporter in the studio necessarily have a monitor to *see* who he's talking to? I understand that often the interviewee only has audio on his own end. Yes, I realize the guy is the entertainment reporter -- and that seemed to be Samuel Jackson's bigger beef -- but the idea that you might well forget who you are interviewing doesn't seem worthy of this sort of venom.
Just watched it. and glad that SLJ tore into him. I mean come on.
