The head scarf has become extremely politicized across the moslem world, and it's gone both ways. I don't think there should be a mandatory requirement to wear a head scarf, like there is in iran. The tough questions aren't going to get to the aranians, and the visuals will. And her agreeing to put on a head scarf at this moment would have been just disastrous. i thought she made the exact right call.
Kara Swisher is back — and so, it seems, is Chris Cuomo. In an interview that is frank and feisty, Kara presses the former CNN anchor on his unceremonious exit from the network last year, and they discuss whether he can cut through the noise with his new podcast, “The Chris Cuomo Project,” and a forthcoming show on NewsNation.
But first, Kara and her sidekick, exec producer Nayeema Raza, the “Goose to her Maverick” (and yes, Goose eventually died in Top Gun) chat about the newsmakers and news Kara is watching — from Google CEO Sundar Pichai to journalist Christiane Amanpour. Kara also weighs in on the drama around the cartoon strip, Dilbert. And, finally, she offers some unsolicited advice about covering celebrity sext scandals.
