The interview subject is interviewed as normal. The difference? Where a specially selected cross-politic panel of experts feel that the question has not been answered (a) truthfully or (b) sufficiently, the interviewee is required to perform a dare - drawn at random from a selection of viewer-submitted
choices.
Might get the kids watching.

If the panel can determine what a truthful answer is, why bother asking the politician? |

"Dare."
"Okay. Our requirement: walk to the wailing wall, wearing a cardboard sign saying 'I love Hitler!' on it. |

"A good point, [beauxeault]. I'd like to evade that line of questioning by saying that it was poor word choice on my part. It should read "honestly", rather than "truthfully."" |

i had the idea that politicians should be interviewed using the technique used by phoebe from friends. ask two simple questions - i.e. 'what's your favourite colour?' etc. - before quickly unleashing the real question - i.e. 'where are the weapons, jackass?' |

I love it, maybe then some of my contemporaries would watch the news (and gain some goddamned intelligence). One problem: no clinton with a female audience/interviewer. |
