Brad,

If you saw the CNBC interview yesterday with the CEO of Computer Associates you saw a great example of how to respond (attitude) to reporters when your stock has taken a beating and the class action lawsuits are mounting.

This guy kept his cool, was calm and in control and explained everything in a rational cool headed perspective. I wish Wilson could have seen this interview before fat ass slammed him on CNBC last June.

Wilson talked fast, looked scared and defensive and came off as not being in control of the situation. The guy should have either taken 20mg of Valium or allowed someone else to act as the spokesperson or simply not showed up like the ZONA CEO did after seeing the treatment of the CEO of MCHM.

Personally, if I was the CEO and felt that I didn't interview well I would have insisted that CNBC tell me the questions that were going to be asked before the interview or I would not have done the interview. This way the interview is controlled from the begining to end and the interviewer can come in totally prepared and need only to show confidence in answering the questions.
