Decent interview. Jordan was a bit sycophantic throughout, and avoided tougher questions, but still interesting. Rudd's answer to the final question about complacency was good. The narrative he runs through in that answer needs to be a central part of Australia's national consciousness.

I liked the interview but I'd go even further and say Jordan was just fanboying all throughout and really just giving Rudd a platform to say what he wants. He didn't even question or verify Rudd's assertions about the negative press stories being fabricated, he linked some sources in the video description (the part nobody reads) but one of them doesn't actually support Rudd's denial of being rude to a makeup person, on the contrary: it's one of the articles running with the story.

It would have been pretty easy to include them in the video itself. This is not a live interview, this was edited and uploaded on his regular schedule. It probably would have been trivial to to just include a addendum video bit, he has the setup for it and he does it for his other stuff as well.
I realize I probably should have specified that I don't think this was a particularly skillful interview by Jordan, but I nonetheless liked Rudd's perspectives on media bias and the Murdoch press...
I realize I probably should have specified that I don't think this was a particularly skillful interview by Jordan, but I nonetheless liked Rudd's perspectives on media bias and the Murdoch press (he was basically just soap-boxing throughout) and think it's worth at least considering.
