Just shows how BAD conventional journalism has gotten.

If you watch old clips of Dick Cavett it is unbelievable how the audience back then was treated as adults.

And old school vibe of actually caring is also the "shtick" of Kevin McCarthy who has amazing interviews. Here a little bit of him discussing 35mm film with Brad Pitt: https://twitter.com/KevinMcCarthyTV/status/16389734357903892...

Rogan took this on as well, the bar of letting people talk for hours is so low now that all these podcasts were able to wipe out traditional TV.

Dick Cavett vs. Lex Friedman, the regression in interview style is horrible.

Cavett with Richard Burton, nearly 2 hours (!) of in depth, well executed talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D49O5obqhiA
