You're trusting this person far too much, and taking her words at face value.

How much time do you think an interviewer has to talk to a lawyer on air to clarify hours of argument? TV stations don't have all day to recap the entire argument, and yet she chose one of the most insignificant bits of evidence for the audience to focus on first. Walk the audience through with baby steps? You know she won't have time, and she knows she won't have time, because she's a professional on TV doing this every day for years.
No, she's banking on running out the clock before they even touch the core of the argument. Oh! Out of time! Too bad! Gotta move on! They do this every single time they interview someone they don't agree with but their viewers are interested in hearing.
