Armstrong comes clean

Winfrey told “CBS This Morning” that her OWN cable network will broadcast the two-and-a-half-hour interview unedited over two nights from today.

Originally, a shorter broadcast was planned for one night only. “I didn’t get all the questions asked, but I think the most important questions and the answers that people around the world have been waiting to hear were answered,” Winfrey said.

“I would say he did not come clean in the manner that I expected,” she added. “It was surprising to me. I would say that for myself, my team, all of us in the room, we were mesmerised and riveted by some of his answers.”

But even before Armstrong’s mea culpa had been seen, critics were questioning his choice of forum, saying an interview with Winfrey lacked the rigor of testimony under oath. — AFP.
