    Yeah, same.

    The price breakdown was to help you or anyone else who thinks they know what’s up get a handle on how quickly you can attempt to actually do the work. Sure, the interviewer could only be setting up interviews, but there’s a whole slew of things going on in production. And some people have no goddamned clue of that, and like to make little quips about changing how it works. Well, they can drop a few hundred and see how to do it themselves, instead of being armchair producers.

    My whole message was an encompassing of the idea that TIME is the limiting factor. A person like the president isn’t going to have the same amount of time as say, your sister. So there’s going to be more pre-production, and that includes Q&A. Any idiot worth their salt is going to have prepared questions for the guest, and many times, they’re going to be giving their guest either A) a general idea of those questions, or B) a list of acceptable questions. Interviewees no matter who they are don’t have to answer questions they don’t want to answer. And the president is going to answer even fewer than that because of potential issues of national security, et al.

    You don’t think I know what I’m talking about, but I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. See how that goes both ways?

    Have the day you deserve.

      And again, this detracts from the conversation at hand because the topic is about the inverse, the guest giving the prepared questions to the host. At that point it’s not an interview, but a press conference disguised as one.

      When the point of the interview is damage control for his ability to think on his feet, do you understand how it doesn’t accomplish the goal of damage control, regardless of the current campaign culture?
