The dick of an interviewer pressing MK for a dire straits one off gig - shut up.....
But as others have said, it’s a tough job. You will interview all sorts of people, some of whom you probably dislike. You’d have to interview politicians whose party you can’t stand and all sorts. They’re briefed, have to absorb information well and quickly and interview all sorts of people. It’s only natural for these guys to ask the questions that we already know the answers to and it’s perfectly natural to ask about a DS reunion, even if the subject makes us glaze over.
