Thank you Bobo for being one of the first to actually outline what you thought was wrong with the interview and not just waffle on about how pathetic it was.
I've listened to it 2 more times yesterday and I'll admit I did miss quite a bit of this deflecting to the media the first time round. She admitted there were issues but as you said, 5 mentions of the media trumps that.
I don't hate Kate but I do think she shot herself in the foot a bit. Compared with Max who did also mention the media once but also when on to take responsibility for ours and his own comms, our processes, and also showed the ultimate empathy for Trac.
Give me a Max Gawn in every leadership position.
