MSNBC Video

terrible journalism.

wow... that's almost embarrassing.

Terrible journalism, but great career advancement. Learn!

Why?

The Today show isn't about invasive journalism. It's about promoting the movie and speaking the truth. Why must everything these days be nothing but slandering and digging into someone's suspected ulterior motives? Sometimes people don't have any. I thought it was a good interview and I think Angelina's great.

I like how Angelina had to bring her back to talking about the film.

It is bad journalism in the sense that Curry is not objective.

I don't care that it is for the today show. Ann Curry also did a documentary recently about child labor and prostitution in India so I expect her to be a good journalist, on any TV show, in every interview. It doesn't matter whether it's about celebrities, politicians....

I would understand this kind of interview from someone like Ryan Seacrest or all those people on the E channel. whatever their names are..... not Ann Curry.

I'm not sure what you are expecting or meaning by the word "objective"?

In America, journalists like Curry (and Walters and Couric, etc) are meant to create a mostly warm environment for the person they are interviewing if they are celebrities such as Jolie, Spears, etc in order to have them feel comfortable to speak, react, etc. It was an interview about a movie and she, several times, tried to get her to speak on the dichotomy between the role of a reporter vs paparazzi who stalk Jolie and her family. I see nothing different in Ann Curry's interview here that she has not done with every other celebrity and if you think this makes her not objective (because she's not a raving bitch to the person and shows empathy), then I suppose you aren't the intended audience for the interview. No hard feelings.

so obvious than ann is in love with angelina. you can hear it in her tone, her loving, caressing voice and the way she calls her angelina, so sweet and sexual. angelina lapped it all up. sluts.

God, that shit is funny. Ann Curry does seem to have a hard on for Angelina. She's the only one on NBC who ever seems to interview her.

eeeesh the way she stares at angelina jolie in some scenes is just creepy.

I just don't think it's appropriate because Ann Curry is supposed to be a respected journalist so I expect her to be unbiased in all her work. Journalists are there to sometimes ask the hard questions and they are supposed to keep a distance between themselves and the interviewee. That's like the first thing you learn in journalism class.
Ann Curry is leaning forward toward Angelina and being all compassionate and telling Angelina basically what an amazing woman she is. That is not her job. We will decide whether or not she's an amazing woman after we see the interview.

But ah well. Different opinions and all that...like you said. No hard feelings.

Ann Curry probably feels bad for Angelina, she has anorexia and can't act.
Sorry, but it's definitely not "journalism" and the news shows just promote the movies..like an infomercial. They should stop pretending to be "journalists."


Also Angelina's legs just highlight the awfulness the disease of anorexia causes, why do we have to look at these chicks that can't eat? I mean it's kind of gross.
Why do they get rewarded to look this way?

I wouldn't say Angelina has anorexia.
I think in all her recent pictures she looks really beautiful (facewise I mean) but I do agree about her legs. I was shocked when I saw this picture:


her legs do look scary skinny there..I never realized how thin she was because she's usually pretty covered up. I guess with loosing her mom and all she might've lost weight without her really realizing it....but she should really gain a couple pounds.

i think brad has the mumps.

HAHAHA...seriously. i love angelina, always have, and she was great in this interview but i have to agree...curry was...weird! and just trying to force angelina to say things, basically talking for her at times. it was strange. just tuggin tuggin tuggin at those heart strings. who does she think she is? barbara walters?

Her and Brad. I think it's an arrangement that Ange and Brad have made. Obviously they like her. Frankly I think Ann is the 3rd party in the threesomes they've been having.
