Without provocation? I'm someone that doesn't agree with funding things like interpretive dance, and feel provoked by people like Gillis living off my back.Yes, I'm serious. I have no issues with vigorous debate at all. In fact I welcome it. But it's poor form for journalists to mock their guests without provocation.
Then why defend the vile act?Though I didn't make any complaints, I can understand why some would, and I'll grant you that a good deal of them didn't complain because they actually care about the state of journalism.
