minus-squareSunforged@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoDo you see that as a good thing? Do you think scripted interviews inspire confidence in voters when the current concern is his ability to think on his feet?
minus-squarePunnyName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoThose people don’t understand how media interviews work. The less time a person has to be interviewed (i.e. the more responsibilities / power they have), the more likely the interview has scripted prompts. This is basic media production.
minus-squareSunforged@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWhich ignores the second question I asked.
minus-squarePunnyName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoBecause it’s not worth considering when you understand how interviews work.
minus-squareHomerianSymphony@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·edit-21 year ago The less time a person has to be interviewed the more likely the interview has scripted prompts. Does answering unscripted questions take longer? Like, he doesn’t have time for unscripted questions, but he does have time for scripted questions? How does that work?
minus-squarePunnyName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoComing up with questions pre-interview is a commonplace thing. And if you aren’t someone with questions in the bag, you’re not doing the job right.
minus-squareHomerianSymphony@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·1 year agoSure, but shouldn’t the interviewer write the questions, not the interviewee?
