Katy Tur is doing a very good job interviewing Omarosa.

I know, Omarosa. But the old shrink in me admires someonecwho knows how to get someone to talk. She’s using the book, which is important to Omarosa, to move carefully into territory. She quickly got Omarosa’s desire to identify with her by saying she’d been harassed too, and built on that. She didn’t rush her and didn’t talk over her, but took her responses in the direction she wanted the interview to go.

Just an observation. She was very smart and covered much more territory than anyone else so far.

yeah, Tur is a good interviewer. Very calm, and manages to get to the essence.

Another one I enjoy is Terry Gross on NPR-- a lot of people think she's lightweight, but she's the one who got O'Reilly worked up in knots so much he stormed out of the interview.
