venimarkovski ::: Favorites Quite a good quote from Larry: "...I find my own academic colleagues, increasingly selling their views to the higher bidder, and testifying in Congress about what the right answer to a tax policy is, based on that..." 07-10-13 08:20:56 __________________________________________________

spacespace ::: Favorites From what I've seen, (and this is no means authoritative, speaking as an American), Europeans seem to expect their journalists to ask harder questions, to require their interviewees to defend their theses. If you listen to his emotional tone, he is speaking the "devil's advocate" position, without much conviction in the questions he's asking. He is voicing the potential doubts of the viewer, so that the listeners may hear their own doubts countered. 07-10-06 01:32:35 __________________________________________________
cniebla ::: Favorites Great! so we have to focus in two things: first, to make transparency "talk" via some very sofisticated systems so we can know at any given moment who is behind our politicians, and second, to evolve in a more "public" funding system for campaigning (here, look at what's been done in my contry, México). 07-10-05 18:34:01 __________________________________________________
seattlebill ::: Favorites Interesting that we're taken aback when journalists ask challenging (although certainly not hostile) questions - speaks a bit to the very situation Lessig describes 07-10-05 17:16:52 __________________________________________________
aleesmith ::: Favorites I'm assuming that Lessig is referring to carbohydrates and not "white" sugar. 07-10-05 17:15:58 __________________________________________________
mcascone ::: Favorites I wouldn't agree that the interviewer is combative. He's asking challenging questions, something we so rarely see anymore. Lessig, of course, hits every one of them out of the park. 07-10-05 14:53:58 __________________________________________________
strangecompany ::: Favorites I thought the interviewer was great, actually - he made Lessig defend his points and his perspective (which he's more than capable of doing). 07-10-05 14:42:16 __________________________________________________
bricology ::: Favorites Fascinating, inspiring interview, but why is the interviewer so damned combative? 07-10-05 14:34:08 __________________________________________________
