	Andy Hiller is a lot of things, but low rent reporter is not one of them
he is 	a very respected political reporter with a national reputation. 
If you don't throw a 	curve ball now and then what is the point of an
interview?  The talking heads 	could just read whatever press release the
candidates wants on the air and I 	suppose you would call that indepth
reporting of the news!

	Think of all the money you would save by not having to pay a reporter's
salary!

	making himself look good on TV
