I just don’t know what to say about Gayle King.  She had the opportunity to do an interview with WNBA Legend Lisa Leslie and she makes it about ratings.  Oops…. she did not get the ratings she wanted.  The question should have never came up.  This was a chance to really get to know the relationship that Lisa Leslie & Kobe Bryant had as long time friends.  I guess she thought because she is the best friend of Oprah that she was not going to get all the backlash she is getting.  Nope you can not blame this on CBS.  You asked the questions and continued to poke & poke & poke & poke.  This was the time to celebrate Kobe and not bash him.  This is exactly what it seemed to be was a bashing moment.  I thought you were better than that, but oh well so much for that.  I’m sorry for that thought.  Blaming CBS for this is not going to make this go away and the heat will not cool down for a very long time, if ever.  There is absolutely no way to blame this on edits.  It all came from your lips to the mic.

As a business owner there are so many things about Kobe you could have talked about and how Leslie got an up & close view of the things he was doing for the community and organizations.  The stamp he was putting on the world.

Good luck with future interviews or NOT.
