I don't see it as manipulation, just proper editing to attract as many people as he can.

He doesn good interviews, although it is distracting when a guest starts talking about something, and Mel interrupts to say he wants to save that tidbit for the second (paid for) hour. And I wouldn't really call asking a guest a question in the free half, and answering it in the paid half good interviewing either.

He can do whatever he want's. Name a better interviewer than mel.



double what?? Mel can support his family any way he likes. Nobody objects to someone earning a living. It's using manipulative business practices and chasing people around with lawyers that smells. If the content stood on it's own, it could just be offered for sale. Packaging fluff interviews with desirable ones and charging for content one doesn't want in order to get content one does, is manipulative. And saying if you don't approve, don't listen and don't complain, is pretty
Would you accuse newspapers/magazines too? Why they don't sell single articles at discount prise
or a movie with your favourite actress, you just want the naked sceen,
but you pay for whole movie.
