But check out this that Andrea Mitchell conducted with her. There are numerous lessons for us to learn from how Hamsher framed the debate, how she was gently on the offensive during the whole interview, and how she would NOT let Mitchell's presentation of what had been told to the media be the END all for the discussion (see her "why not?" about Evan Bayh).  Too often, the media tells people its interviewing that so and so said this and the "this" goes unchallenged.  I applaud jane hamsher for her work in this interview.

Here's the video, and I transcribed some of the interview below it. (click on "thre's more" for the transcript).

what are your thoughts?
