phynckePiers Morgan, CNN
Interview with the Dalai Lama (2012)
Honestly, most TV news interviews drive me crazy because the interviewer takes center stage and does not let the subject of the interview talk enough. Well, I had the pleasure of watching Piers Morgan interview the Dalai Lama on CNN last night. I think it was aired on Saturday night. He is an exceptional journalist and does not compete with his guest for the center spot. He lets them shine and asks really relevant questions, allowing space for them to talk, elaborate and say really meaningful things.
The Dalai Lama himself had many things to say and is a model for how to lead your life. That totally came through on this interview. He lives simply, plainly and with meaning. I thoroughly enjoyed him and he is a very happy person. He truly shined here and it was wonderful to see him broadcast worldwide.
I am sure I will be watching more of Piers Morgan's interviews. He is sharp, intelligent and really does understand his role as an interviewer - it is to facilitate someone else talking and to ask good questions. He is great!
