I don't know her name but she was clearly playing Devil's Advocate; Politics Joe is on his side as shown by this other interview they put on. She's framing most of her questions from the tabloid/right press points of view to allow him to knock down their talking points; quite an effective interview technique imo.

Compare this with how Newsnight/BBC/Sky would do it: same framing but then constant interuptions to prevent him answering a question fully.

You can get more of a flavour of their political stance with a glance at the titles of their videos:

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

Thanks. I figured she was doing that. She did a passable imitation of our New Zealand media "stars."

Another masterclass by Mick.

I think the reporter did a rather good job. She fed him the Mail and Express and Times and Sun headlines and gave him the time to demolish all of them one by one. Not as has been pointed out above, the sneaky and biased "interviews" by Kirsty Wark, the most blatant of all mainstream presenters in tossing out state propaganda and then constantly interrupting so as not to permit a proper reply. She is the most egregious and obnoxious example of this in broadcast media.

It will cost the UK taxpayer £132bn to decommission all the UK’s civil nuclear sites and the work will not be completed for another 120 years, according to latest estimates.

Wark is obnoxious and likes obnoxious people...I clearly remember a Newsnight interview a good few years ago now when Wark and Israeli war criminal Tzipi Livni had a cosy chat on Newsnight and called each other by their first names.
I posted about it on here or maybe the old Media Lens at the time.

Wark made a fool of herself when she spoke to Glenn Greenwald in 2013...

Greenwald starts schooling her at the 11:18 mark...

Kirsty Squawrk...what a complete tool in that "interview" (nm)

Here she is interviewing Mrs Thatcher in 1990.
