The interviewer is, to my mind, of extremely low culture . He asks a question and before Dr. Chomsky answers, 1.- starts interrupting him 2.- comes with citation/quote out of context 3.- insults a linguist by telling him "but language is important etc. etc.Is this interviewer the best bbc could find?

it's hard to watch a brilliant man being interviewed by such an idiot
-
If it were not for the interviewer's English accent, that guy would look like a complete tool.

Noam loves feminism, loves mass immigration, loves the broken families. How will he feel when whites are a minority, will he finally be happy?

I think that all of you, once again, completely misunderstand the purpose of good journalism. You're all saying that this interview is an idiot, etc. etc. but the only reason you're saying that is because he's attempting to question, prod and challenge Chomsky. That is the purpose of good journalism. Imagine if David Frost softly poked at Richard Nixon and just said things like "Do you think you're misunderstood?" Get real people. Learn something about real journalism.

@adcashmo Seeing as he introduced him as 'professor of linguistics', I think he knew full well what his job title was.
All he was doing was making a point about, and highlighting the 'language' that Chomsky was employing regarding something may have been emotive.
Your criticism is ridiculous.

@PurushaDesa At last, someone gets it.

the interviewer is getting away with asking general questions and lacking substance.

Interviewer: "But language is important..."
Does this guy even know what Noam Chomsky's job title is?
Love Chomsky's sideways look as if to say "how much longer is this interview?".
