Listening to those interviews I don't know how anybody could have anything overly good or bad to say about Olsen.
"Hold her own" is probably the best description I heard, even if it might have been used for a different reason. To think she got dismantled in any way is just as ridiculous as thinking she schooled the interviewers and put them in their place.
In the first she went into what was clearly a hostile interview and came out on the other side looking pretty good. Despite the best efforts of the hosts (your typical loudmouth sports guys) she managed to keep her cool and deflect pretty much everything and stuck to the talking points everywhere else. I'd give her the win i that one.
In the second the mood might have been less hostile but it was just as unfriendly an atmosphere. The two hosts didn't come off hat great but I know that they're fans and its hard to remain composed in such circumstances especially when talking with a person I'd imagine you hate (maybe not personally, but certainly what they represent). They again were trying to push her a certain way but she didn't deviate much again.
In the end in two interviews that would be the polar opposite of what she'd face in Canadian radio, she came out alright. Didn't blow anybody away, didn't make herself look like a fool, that's holding your ground if you ask me. In two interviews that had a clear bias and agenda the worst things were stumbling on a Facebook issue and something about the Attorney General's office. Dismantling indeed. It was like Frost/Nixon all over again.
