rude and stupid

As a sort of follow-up to yesterday's post....

Below a link:  A  journalist at the BBC interviews Yanis Varoufakis, the new Greek Minister of Finance.

She interrupts him, and insists on reducing everything to stupid dichotomies. I also detested the very pictorial and imagistic lead-in.  It reminds me of the crap that The Guardian has chosen as a format.  --As if we need to constantly be bombarded with pictures without which headlines would not make sense.

This is also something of a counterbalance to Varoufakis' absence on a recent Czech TV spot during which the European representative's remarks at a news conference were fully featured--and Varoufakis' words were not heard. (Here I indulge the fantasy that someone is reading this blog.)
