American reporter James Kirchick hijacks an interview on Russia Today Interview 3

In this interview a homosexual interviewee changes the subject completely while talking to Russia Today to aim the interview at the way homosexual people are treated in Russia and the laws that are supported behind it and his outrage and opinion on it in general and talks over the interviewee's a number of times when they try to silence him and get him back on to the subject at hand.

The interviewee starts by directing a previous question she had asked to a previous interviewee, right away the interview starts with a quote "As this person once said etc" then begins to let it be known what he is here to talk about by showing what he is wearing and speaking his opinion right off the bat of the interview. The interviewer then quickly responds by saying "Yes, we will talk about that later" but the interviewee does not stop his point and continues talking and then the interviewer tries for a second time to get back on to the subject and asks what about this? to the interviewee. Then the interviewee makes it plain and simple on what he is here to talk about and there is no other reason why he is here, he continues it by sending a message too all homosexual Russians and shows how strongly he feels about the treatment.

The interviewer doesn't really know what to say and just says "Oh I see" and then tries to move on to another interviewee about the subject at hand, but then again the interviewees emotions take over and he voices his opinion about the treatment and asking how they get to sleep at night being an interviewer who see's this all and doesn't do anything about it and just hides it, then she laughs and says he has to come over and see for yourself and laughs again while he is asking how she sleeps at night but she also stumbles on her words not knowing what to say you can see she is trying to get ride of him and doesn't what his opinion on that subject in the interview. Once again the interviewer tries to move him on again but still has a small laugh and reminds him at the subject at hand even thou what he is talking about upsets him a lot she still laughs this isn't a good example of an interviewer she has no consideration on his feelings and doesn't even try to calm him down just shows she doesn't want to talk about his opinion and doesn't care.

Then one of the other interviewers jump in and he starts to say that it's Jame's right to voice his opinion so making him feel like he is aloud to voice his opinion but then goes on by saying are you ready to move on to the panel we have set up to talk about the subject at hand, give him a choice to move on instead of letting him talk and talk is a good sign on a good interviewer unlike the lady who just shown zero intrest in what the interviewee was saying which is the wrong way to approach someone with the emotions that was backing his point. Even then the interviewee shows evidence that the subject they have been talking about is something they have been talking about for over twenty four hours and while the subject he wants to talk about is not in sight. Then the male interviewer bounces back with evidence that they did have a talk in a panel about the laws and the subject that James feels so passional about and he says he an go and look for it on Youtube and he ergues him to do so which is a good way on trying to show that they do care about his opinion but they have already had time to talk about it and they are talking about something different at this point in time while being polite and trying to get back on topic. While the interviewee has one last thing to say the female interviewer shows she has had enough and moves on by ignoring him and talking to someone else and cutting him off completely this is a bad way to do an interview and she is very unprofessional while the male interviewer tries to calm down the siations by also making the interviewee feel like his opinion is needed but not about the subject he wants to talk about and gives him references on when it was needed.
