    • @MrEsphoenix
      @MrEsphoenix Před 5 lety +65

      He looks at things objectively, allowing the viewer to come to their own conclusions with all the facts at hand. Too many journalists these days go in with a bias mindset, and twist things to push their opinions on the viewer, and it's a disgrace to journalism. Even when Louis interviews people clearly in the wrong, who do things he clearly finds distasteful, he allows them to give their side, and asks unbiased questions.
      That's why he's so good. It's far more interesting to see into the minds of these people, see how they think, and why they do the things they do. It's a perspective that you can't get when you're pushing your views to the forefront.

    There was in one documentary when he went and stayed at brothels in the US and the a few of the women there who had experienced really abusive relationships really fell for Louis and I'll never forget how one of them said how lucky the woman was who was with Louis,it was kind of sad to think that she did not think she could get a man as kind and sweet hearted as Louis was.I think they felt very attached to him

One girl was rude to him at first because she was so cynical and didn't trust the persona he showed was real, then she realised he was actually real and sought him out and was very real with him. I'm glad she got to meet him so she knew there were good guys who wouldn't pay for sex or shoot her in the head.

      I much prefer British interview shows. The interviewers allow the conversations to go where they want to, they allow the guests to speak without infuriating. I would recommend Grahm Norton as well, it’s more light hearted as well. These comedians do a great job interviewing without having to get kitschy. The only comparable US show I can think of is Hot Ones.

    Truly a great man. He has the ability to remain objective, something so rare these days. If there where more journalists like him, rather than people feeding us news and information twisted to suit their own agenda, the world would be a better place. He allows these people to give their own story and thoughts, even the ones who are just terrible people, allowing us to get an idea why they do the things they do.

    Asking whether open relationships can work is like asking if traditional relationships can work. Many traditional relationships end. So you try again. Relationships can be pure hell. Communication is key. Who cares about societal norms or pressures? Do whatever feels right for you and whomever you may be involved with. So long as it's all consenting adults, it's all good.

      One of the best in the world I'd argue. He's got the rare ability to put his personal views aside and take an objective approach, allowing the viewers to make their own decisions, and giving us a view into why these people thing think, and do the things the way they do. Something that's so rare in journalism, where most just use it to push their own views and twist what others say.

    "I sip brews from chalices
    Stone-cold in my palaces
    But your crib is so cramped
    You suckers suffer from paralysis
    Rhymes
    I write them in the castle
    You try to diss me and pretty soon your arse'll
    Squat in a cell cause I can tell you it's illegal
    Treason
    That's the reason I'm regal
    You'll do time for the crime of lèse-majesté
    And fuck the police, cause they can't arrest me!"
    - King Lou E (as the Queen)

    having only seen Russel be goofy on 8 out of ten cats, till now, i am so impressed with his questions....there is not an American t.v. interviewer that would ask such intellectually penetrating questions, not on late night, not ellen,. not oprah...well done..
