As a journalist, I meet a lot of liars. People will use the platform you give them to peddle all sorts of wackadoodle ideas and downright dangerous conspiracies. Terrible people try to use me to launder their own reputation. An interview is not the place for misrepresentation. It is not fair to make the listener sit through some charlatan's charade.
You have to cut the crap. Here, five minutes of bloviation was distilled into a 30 second truth bomb. The exact wording of my questions during the interview does not matter: it's capturing the essence of a person. To represent something accurately to a large audience, sometimes altering things is necessary.
The questions I genuinely asked, adjusted for emotional accuracy, are displayed throughout the video.
