Whatever I think of Coulter, I didn't like Matt Lauer's interview style. Generally I think he's a good interviewer, but in this one he seemed to be on the attack from the word go. With someone as volatile as Coulter, I didn't think he needed to be quite so aggressive from the start; the interview would probably have naturally led to an aggressive tone at a later point.
It's just a pet peeve of mine in general when interviewers start an interview in attack mode.
