Off the Ball crew gone from Newstalk.

No issue with the question being asked but it was an ambush. Even politicians are advised in advance of interviews what topics will be covered. He just landed it on her out of left field which was very unfair and then was like a dog with a bone, pretending to be an investigative journalist of some sort. He truly is a loathsome creature.
True it was supposed to be a puff piece about Spar not an in depth interview covering her past.
 
While it’s very reasonable to ask questions about opinions public figures have expressed publicly, I think it was unfair not to warn her in advance. I don’t believe Kellie Harrington has a prejudiced bone in her body, but she wears her heart on her sleeve and she’s not the first person to react to something she’d seen on social media in a way she mightn’t have if she’d had more time and her statement after it was good.

Equally I believe if he’d pursued a line of questioning like that with Johnny sexton he’d never have worked again.
