TV news personalities are rude and obnoxious these days. You're right, they want the ratings. On another note, I've heard Kamala interviewing Supreme Court candidates and other people Congress was investigating for various reasons, and I believe she can take care of herself and hold her own. Also, I don't think color and/or gender should play one bit of difference in how people are approached, since equal rights means not singling out people for special treatment. However, I believe they all should be treated with respect.
