The better the coverage, the more discriminating the viewer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Whereas with foreign coverage there's a much broader disconnect between you and your audience.
I think by laying it out for the viewer I'm avoiding the issue of bias.
My goal is to make the viewer a little bit smarter.
Every viewer is going to get a different thing. That's the thing about painting, photography, cinema.
When you're bringing in a fairly unknown candidate challenging a sitting president, the population needs a lot more information than reduced coverage provides.
I like giving the audience a lot of stuff to look at, and rewards for repeated viewings and paying attention.
For me, the main principle for broadcasters has to be that if people stand to benefit from an interview, they should be prepared to face some downside as well.
Audiences want and need a shared viewing experience.
A better quality of video is better for everyone.
Everything has to be well thought out - what do you really need, when can you do with less coverage.
