Paula Zahn interview with John Edward for CNN:

http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/TV/05/10/john.edward.cnna/index.html

Unlike Larry King who gushed over Edward, Paula Zahn at least asked a few critical questions. Edward, of course, spouted out the usual dribble in response. Now he claims his abilities have been validated by Dr. Gary Schwartz and even agrees that there are indeed charlatan mediums, but not him of course.

I'm not even going to waste my time reading anything about Edwards but I just had to say,
'GODS' that man is so ugly. I stare at him like a traffic accident. What goes on in the mind of someone like that, knowing they are decieving people?
I happened to catch a few seconds of his show the other day while turning around the dial, and thought to myself, don't those people see he's not really saying anything? As Randi points out, psychics are asking rather then telling. If they really were communicating (with other worlds) they'd KNOW and not have to ask. WHY don't people realize that?

I didn't see anything there that would constitute a tough question. In the past, Zahn has gotten all slobbery of Sylviz Browne. Now its John Edward. She's destroyed her credibility. If she said it was daytime, I'd go and look out a window. This interview proves she should leave news reporting to the grown-ups.
And you're Snake, that boy is butt-ugly.

You're right, the questions certainly weren't tough, but at least she asked to him to address his critics. Her major flaw was not taking him to task on his answers. But that would require being an investigative reporter, wouldn't it?
