Joan Lunden

When Joan was host of Good Morning America, she never gave her opinion. For example, she was interviewing Tipper Gore (wife of ex-Vice President Al Gore) and rocker Frank Zappa. The topic was new music and how Tipper Gore said specific albums should be sold under the desk and not easily seen by younger kids. Frank Zappa, a famous rock star himself, was totally against that. When the interview was over, no one knew Joan's opinion and that's how she handled all interviews. Nowadays, it's so different...depending on what you watch or read, you will usually get the opinions of the broadcaster or writer!
