Today we asked him about that during an interview

What is disturbing, according to a newsroom insider, a news manager at WSET, who is said to be friends with Good, ask Mirand, “Why not just tell him ahead of time? We in the media need to be as transparent as possible.”
The source says that Mirand informed her boss that she doesn’t lay out questions for officials she’s holding accountable, to preserve her journalistic integrity.
Good for her!
Shame on the news manager.
