These requests could hardly be considered targeted. Even if Vizet had not appeared, Lupin and Sirius Black would have passed them on to him.
What Rita Skeeter was more curious about was what kind of attitude Vizet would display once the questioning began.
After learning that Vizet would be present, the smiles on many Muggle leaders' faces faded considerably.
Their attention had completely shifted, and they kept looking around, trying to determine when Vizet would appear.
Rita Skeeter narrowed her eyes slightly. Even without Mental Magic, she could make guesses based on experience about what those Muggle leaders were thinking.
For example... when the questioning began, what sort of exaggerated entrance would Vizet make?
However, based on what she knew of Vizet, his entrance would probably be... rather plain and unremarkable.
Lupin returned to where he had spoken earlier, his voice rising above all the noise. "Thank you all for your interest in this product. Almost everything related to it is covered in the manual."

But to Muggle leaders such as President Bill, they were more willing to see Vizet as a "devil."
Vizet's two gentle remarks from back then—"Would you care about my feelings a little?" and "I thought too highly of you"—still appeared in their nightmares from time
