Something Instead of Nothing

This week's article definitely brought up some thought-provoking points about the concept of interviews. I would have to agree that when someone is being interviewed, the interviewee probably doesn't answer questions with what they truly believe; more so with answer that they believe to be "politically correct". I really have to agree that it's just a natural reaction to answer a question when being asked. I also believe there is an exception to an interviewees level of honesty. I believe that the reason the Frost/Nixon interviews were so successful and brought out so many truthful answers from Richard Nixon was because Frost was such an excellent interviewer, that he was able to retrieve more real information from the former president. Once again, I'd have to agree with Klosterman's final analysis of interviews by saying that we as humans are simply curious about other people and want to absorb as much information about people and our world by asking. It is human nature to ask, and interviews are no exception.
