Lol, I know nobody in the media could ever get any level of respect or benefit of the doubt in any situation on this message board, but that wasn't Peter Mansbridge being owned.
He's a pro, he knew exactly how that interview was going to go. As a casual observer I guess it looked like a clown reporter being owned or whatever haha, but the point of this interview was to get certain comments out of Marie to air to the thousands of disgruntled women out there. He knew that, Marie knew it. They both knew what each other was going to ask/respond with.
Think of it as Peter basically asking her questions as if he was one of the disgruntled women so they feel like he's asking what they want to ask her, and getting relevant answers to their concerns, it's a very common technique in reporting. You can say you think the technique is stupid if you wish, but that wasn't a veteran reporter getting owned or not knowing how to ask good questions.
