Nothing a journalist likes less than having her/his professional pride wounded by insincerity/incompetence/downright lying on the part of an interviewee s/he has roundly profiled as the second coming. After all, when someone lies to you, and doesn't put much effort into cobbling together a story, there's a distinct air of distain for the intelligence of the audience ("yep, they'll be too thick to work this one out in a hurry") Then of course one has to add arrogance to the dishonesty, which begins to sound like major personality problems!
