i don't get the backlash, you guys know bode has come out and said he had no problem with the interview, why do you?
christian cooper is a former olympian herself and friends with bode miller. basically giving her the guts to push him a lil further then most people would've
me and my husbands' reaction was not "backlash" because we felt horrible instantly, while watching her interview tactics.
Viewers have an immediate response.
A friend? does not do that. but yeah, Bode is being very gracious toward her.
Realistically, he is in the public eye and ultimately at the mercy of all media. so it would not go very well in the future if he did not make an effort to cushion her against the entire viewerships' revulsion, would it? If media is for you it's great, but if not then you're walking amidst hyenas.
She pushed to get an agonizing Olympic "moment". Good journalists capture what unfolds, not force and orchestrate.
It just felt horrible watching.
My husband blurted out "She's a vampire. she is sucking the tears right out of his eyes with a big plunger!" and made plunging motions at the tv :-o
Why do we have a problem with that? because she created a spectacle of Bode's pain, and her targeted audience hated the moment. worst ever.
Bode was obviously having "a problem" while she did it.
