  1. Contemporary journalism: 1. Start about polls. Because these are sacred and prime. 2. Provide your questions in an ignorant, uninformed matter that also implicitly disrespects the interviewee from a journalism point of view, since you are unwilling to provide details or delve into the topics adequately yourself: "Tell me what you think about taxation. Because I know that's one of the policies of yours that has garnered the most attention. Could you just kinda summarize it for us in a nutshell?" [journalism like this provides ample opportunity for simple promotional, populistic answers, I know Johnson missed out on that, but that's besides the point] 3. Counter the argument or answer with generalizations and/or abstract accusations, firstly preventing an insightful answer towards the interviewee and secondly inflating the interview towards meaningless levels. "Most of the worlds' economies, most of the worlds' economists disagree with you" [not important what it means, why they disagree, if they have addressed the issue literally, etc. This pushes for yes or no, in favour or against, exactly what you might think you need but what you don't need]. Sure Johnson was not consistently too bright in his answers, yet I don't only want to criticize him.

  2. Anyone knows what the music in the background is at the end?

  3. JohnnyBoyCali I was trying to make a point about journalism, not as much about presidency or candidates

  4. If you read, Mark, you would've read I criticized Gary Johnson as well or would not refrain from doing so. My focus point remains that this style of journalism and focus on personalism in politics IS deflection.

  5.  @karwashblark7499  .......? Couldn't it be that during an interview, you want to memorize certain points to bring up as they come up during the interview? It's a flow as much as a structure. Ever done a long interview!
