Thank you PBS for allowing a person to speak uninterrupted and letting us decide whether she's worth listening to.

[TriggaM]

People would trust the media if interviews like this were the norm. Great job PBS.

[tozndsand]

The interviewer shows excellent professionalism by leaving his ego out of the interview.

[greggb]

Dear PBS, this interview was AMAZING! You asked amazing questions, and then actually let the guest talk and explain their position.

[kalimarus]

We need more of this in Media. Let people have a discussion in long form instead of sound bites. Thanks PBS. Thanks Ann for being on and sharing your thoughts.

Before seeing this interview, I only saw Ann in short interviews and I always thought she was going for controversy and shocking people. And here, she is given plenty of time to answer without being interrupted. And I'm really surprised on how well spoken, intellectual, and how her responses make so much sense. I'm also really surprised that she is critical of both sides of the political spectrum. And yet I always thought she was after the left and never the right. Well said Ann.

[ethancroft]

Wow! An interviewer who actually interviews, rather than debates the guest.

[RoadTripTravel]

Fantastic interview. The public would trust the media a whole lot more if more interviews like this were conducted. Well done Frontline.

[douglassmith]

Ann is EXTREMELY intelligent. She sees almost everything, and has the ability to give wide perspective of things. Wish she could be an adviser to the President's cabinet. Deep down she does seem to love our country and wants to see the common people succeed.

[faithinverity]

She is far more interesting than I had thought. I'm a life-long Democrat and I have been wrong about Miss Coulter.

[alysiamerdavid-wasser]

Imagine saying on Bill Maher that 45 would win, being laughed at, and staying composed. Not a fan, but I'll give Coulter props for that.

[richarddevine]

These interviews are fantastic, whether you agree with the interviewee or not it really gives you other perspectives. So refreshing these days

[seeky]

I'm amazed Frontline let Ann Coulter speak for extended amounts of time. Good for them.

[kwall]

Thank you for the long format interview. It’s helpful to hear a person speak in a non-sound bite format. It’s also helpful when the interviewer isn’t simply trying to argue their position. I’m impressed that this station would do this type of interview.

[bhbluebird]

Wow, an interviewer that encourages a flow of information without agenda or bias

[mikedelmore]

This is a great, thought provoking interview, regardless of one's views. Bravo PBS. She is actually allowed to speak and develop her points.

[markd]

Very professional. I can't remember the last time a reporter just asked questions and listened.

[treebrother]

I'm impressed and mildly hopeful to see PBS doing long form interviews. Thank you!

“Cory Booker looks like Obama’s country cousin”... omg 😳 😂
