  David Frost (broadcaster) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Frost and Donald Rumsfeld in an interview in the summer of 2005.
Frost's well-known ability to network with the right people was in evidence there, where he edited the literary magazine Granta and was the secretary of the famous Footlights drama society, which included people of note such as Peter Cook and John Bird.
In addition, Frost's interview style of late has been described as sycophantic, and markedly different to his performance in the 1960s and 1970s, which almost bordered on verbal bullying; it was from such fiery encounters that the phrase "trial by television" was popularised.

FROST: Well, Senator Eugene McCarthy of the state said, on one occasion when I was talking to him, that a politician can tell all the truth, but not necessarily the whole truth, i.e., that a politician can avoid lying, but he often can't reveal the whole picture.
FROST: Well, I think the key thing is that doing from the humorous to the lighthearted to the more serious and so on, that is a fantastic plus to have that versatility or that ability to do the various things.
FROST: Well, actually, one classic example of that was the Nixon interviews, because we researched cleverly, we worked for a year, and between the 12 taping days, we examined what -- and we finished and we covered everything, every question, in the 28 and three-quarter hours, we had wanted to ask.
