phil752 Â Â 10 #7 Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) I have come to the conclusion that politicians have ready made answers for awkward questions. Â i think so or talk the time away, would you like to see an interview to dismiss them when they try, like saying if you're not going to reply we will stop or if you're not prepared you no good we will stop. Paxman used to come close it never did. Edited December 11, 2017 by phil752 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ECCOnoob   1,041 #10 Posted December 11, 2017 Thats the interviewees problem. Give em enough rope and they will hang themselves.  Its certainly not up to the interviewer to terminate early and walk away. You really think a programme maker or even the public audience will accept 10/15/20 minutes of dead air because an interview is terminated on the basis of someone not liking the answers.

Â it not likeing the answers, it being given guff answer and talking themselve out of airtime we have all seen it. I just wondered f they got terminated for it, how long would it take them to come prepaared. and it not hard to have 15 min fillers prepare if they did leave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Anna B Â Â 1,414 #12 Posted December 11, 2017 Am I alone or do interviewers always seem to ask the wrong questions and accept none answers? Â Yes and yes. Â Some interviewers are good and push for answers, but many are not. Â The same goes for news programmes. Listen carefully and what sounds like an answer or explanation in tone and syntax is nothing of the sort, but just meaningless guff. Â More and more, News programmes seem to give the appearance of informing the public when in actual fact they say nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
