Spineless seems a bit harsh. The interviewee did open with an unveiled threat of legal action against anyone who disagrees with him.

There was a time when the media would take pride in smacking down some moron who thought they could use the law to suppress speech they don't like.

"The media" in general, sure. They often still do. My point was just that one person not doing this in an intimidating 1:1 interview doesn't make that person spineless.
