I have Anderson on TIVO.  Good interview.  Wish it had been longer, but it was good to get the time it got.  Anderson has mentioned this film before and discussed HIV/AIDS issues.  Unfortunately, his show seems to be the only show I see it discussed.  Thomas Roberts at MSNBC did an interview with Peter recently.

If Peter were on another show at MSNBC, then AC's show can't be the only one where the film has been discussed, can it? I can't see Peter being on any show  recently and not discussing it. (and rightly so) You go, Peter!

The interview was too short, but I appreciate Anderson reaching out to Peter for the interview.

I meant Anderson is basically the only non-news program that I've seen discussing this film, and discussing HIV.  This aired on his daytime talk show, which unfortunately is being cancelled.  I did confuse things and could have been clearer.  The only TV news program I've seen discussing it was on MSNBC.  Openly gay anchor, Thomas Roberts interview Peter.  I do wonder if not for Thomas Roberts being gay and interested in this, whether another anchor would have brought him in studio for an interview.
