Case in point: That scene where he fires off some very loaded questions at Dick Clark as he's about to drive off to make an engagement. Why not simply ask the guy for an interview rather than ambush him when he's obviously needing to be elsewhere? |
True, but he had that attitude with everyone he interviewed. I think the main reason he simply went up to people (Charlton Heston being the only one he seemingly made an appointment with) was because he'd be able to put the person on the spot. There would be no time to pussy foot around the facts or work out predetermined answers, if you know what's coming you can divert the issue. All politicians and public figures do that. Dick Clarke didn't say "You know what, this isn't a good time for me, can you meet up with me later today." He just wanted to avoid any and all questions by the look of it. If you want to get into people's face with the truth you have to do exactly that, and I feel that is why he used that tactic.
