Exclusive Interview

Leave it to my favorite columnist to address a question that I have been asking lately: Why is every interview with a highly public and oft-interviewed person an exclusive interview?

When someone says, "An exclusive interview with THIS PERSON, tonight at 8 pm, only on THIS CHANNEL," does that simply mean that that is the only inteview the person will be granting at that specific time?

That is the only way that an interview with Barack Obama could be considered exclusive, it would seem.

Now, if someone were to say, "An exclusive interview with J.D. Salinger," then I would believe that it was genuinely exclusive.
