From a journalistic standpoint, Troy Hayden did well to secure such an exclusive interview. The softballs he lobbed Arias though were very disappointing for anyone who had followed the case. A good interviewer knows when someone is grandstanding and adjust questions accordingly. They should ask questions that the viewer would like answers to. This interview had about as much teeth as Nurmi's questioning of Jodi on the witness stand, just a further opportunity for Arias to present her absurd rationale. He's clearly hoping that by playing along with Jodi's shenanigans, he'll get another interview for himself or for Fox. Well, to keep the golden goose on the Fox network, Bill O'Reilly is a dream matchup.
I'm not an O'Reilly fan by any stretch of the imagination, but if he spent 45 minutes with Arias, she'd have a certain grumpy Irish American to go along with the tigers, bears and gophers that haunt her dreams.
I caught a couple of his Arias trial updates on Youtube, and he's had Arias pegged from the beginning. Doesn't seem to have followed the trial too closely, but tore her self-defence claims to shreds applying the same rational logic that all of us have. An O'Reilly match-up would certainly bring Arias' relationship with the network to the end, but at least it would be an interview instead of another Arias PR stunt.
