I GOT TO RENEW a familiar old connection during this, my summer hiatus from writing THE MEDIA BEAT column on a weekly basis.
I recorded a video interview for PBS with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. We taped in London, where he’s still a very divisive figure, mainly because of the Iraq War — and to a much greater extent than many Americans realize.
Separately from the TV interview, American public radio got some sidelights when morning-show hosts Marshall Miles and Jill Goodman of WHDD — in Connecticut’s especially media-savvy northwest corner — quizzed me on that elusive concept … “the real Tony Blair.”
