A new rule for journalists.
End the interview on the first egregious lie.
Turn the lights out, switch off the recorder, get up and leave.
And your report should state clearly that this is why the interview was terminated.
It never should have been tolerated in the first place.
@davew This is the way
@davew Bravo!!! 👏👏👏🤘
@davew An exception to this rule: if you can counter their lies with factual information then you may stick around and ask further questions. Gotta be good at this though, if someone's willing to tell a lie then they're going to be slippery and try to evade.
Yes, I know, this is just gotcha journalism you might think but no, just regular investigative journalism here, sorry that the questions aren't going easy on you. Stop lying and they'll stop.
