Bad interviews

    I'm studying media, and was wondering if anyone had examples of some poor interviews from recent Irish radio/tv?

    I've been using Ryan Turbidy's interview with Paul Murphy from the Late Late as an example of someone failing to remain impartial. It's stuff like that I'm interested in, where the interview had an evident disregard for their subject, or just failed to engage with an interesting interviewee. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    What about interviews where the guest is sozzled? Any classic George Best or Ollie Reed will do.

    There is an RTE news interview with the head of Web Summit.

    This was done when they had announced that Web Summit was moving due to people running getting no help from the government. They were very critical of how the government didn't seem to care that they were losing the Web Summit, even do it was positive for Ireland.

    The interview was a full-on attack on the owner who was trying to explain their reasons for moving. Dare anyone make a criticism of the government.

    A quick look I found this article about it:

    Thanks, I'm looking for incidents of the interviewer performing poorly. I've seen some of the shambolic interviews from Oliver Reed, I thought his treatment on the Word was pretty abusive actually, so it would actually demonstrate a real poor performance from all involve. Cheers

    The one with "Jack Nicholson". If that isnt an example of a bad interview I dont know what is.
