Morgan asked a few good questions but his dumbest question was when he asked AN why single women cant go skiing in Iran . Where is he getting his info because when I was in Iran last year most of the people who were skiing were single man and women .

As if even 0.5% of Iran's population is into skiing! What a fucking dumb question.

A better question would have been why they are disallowing femalesfrom registering for so many courses in universities across Iran . Morgan justmade himself look dumb and AN smart in the interview. I don’t understand whythese so called hosts don’t study and prepare before interviewing a guest , itsjust pathetic .

Back then the interviewers were much smarter , back then I am sure they didn’t have a celebrity host like Piers Morgan hosting Britain got talent interviewing world leaders.

morgan is excellent interviewers if he does his own questions .apparently the type of question he asked ahmadi-nejad was sort of cliche and producers and some orginisers picked them for them .
so the types of question is only good for certain viewers .
for instance ,you can't ask a father or mother of middle eastern if your son came to you and tell you he is gay then what is your reaction .
you can't ask a middle eastern father and mother period about that sort of question( same goes for their daughers ) .can they ask the king of saudi such a question .absolutely not .
ofcourse iranian are much much open minded than that other middle eastern countries but some classified question is real hard to answer .

Morgan is smart. this is why people like AN are willing to interview with Morgan. If he starts asking the hard question and embarrass them, then there is no way him or others like him will show up. Not good for business and advertisement.

AN will not show up if he did not already have some kind of agreement on the kind of questioning.

As much as it makes sense about Shah getting with hard questions, times are different. Look at the people such as Ted Kopple loosing their jobs in the last few years.

^^^ Larry King was far worse. I heard AN's people gave a list of topics on which he wasn't prepared to answer questions and he accepted the interview strictly on the condition that there are red lines. Larry King accepted.
This interview was far more open.
