McChesney is erudite, a true expert, a valuable font of information. However his "moter mouth" can be off putting. And he he interrupts any conversation a lot. He is best read or giving a speech. On top of that this interviewer seems to want to yap too, and interrupt too almost as much as bogus liberal Charlie Rose. Conclusion: this interview video is irritating. Ironic: did you notice when McChesney tells the interviewer : hey, hey slow down, lets get to... back to blah blah blah.

McChesney is a leftist nut case with his head up his arse. Maybe he should talk less about how spiritual it is that we are all "only a few generations removed from the monkeys" and say something important? The printing press was NOT invented to CONTROL information and he is the most blatantly biased teacher ever. At least try and remain SOMEWHAT bipartisan in class, docuhe
His comments in 1997 are even more important now, i.e. the Iraq War, a direct result of an illegal propaganda campaign exploiting American media's narrow channel of information to feed only certain messages to the people. Media reform is a bipartisan effort; people are biased against Big Media just as abolitionists were biased against slavery. The system is broken and needs to be fixed. Opposing corporatocracy does not make one a nutcase any more than using vulgarity makes one's argument sound.
was mcchesney on coke during this interview? don't get me wrong i love the guy but he seemed really arrogant & aggressive to the interviewer who was a nice guy & generally agreed with his standpoint...
I'm only 43 minutes into the video so far, but I have to respond to this. I think the interviewee is calm, cool, responsive and doing a good job here. The interviewer however, is pretty annoying with his constant interruptions, and other mechanisms he uses. He needs to keep quiet, really listen, and do a better job of interviewing.

This interviewer is surprisingly intelligent given talk show standards.
