After viewing the video of John Stewart and Jon Yoo's interview, I started realizing the downfall of the whole interviewing process. Stewart, Christopher Beam mentioned, was already known for stooping others in interviews so it was no surprise that he thought he could do the same to Yoo. Stewarts downfall, though, was that he did not take into consideration Yoo's profession and his knowledge of the topic they were discussing. Stewart should have asked more in depth questions instead of just "uh"ing and stuttering about nonsense.
I definitely agree with Christopher Beam's assertions about Stewart and Yoo's interview. He hit the nail on the head when he said that all Stewart wanted to do was stoop Yoo, in which he failed to do. Every question or comment Stewart made, Yoo was able to come back with an answer or a better comment. Yoo was very polite, yet he made the point that Stewart, no matter how hard he tried, could not make him look like an idiot. I think in the end, Stewart made himself look like the idiot and should hopefully learn a lesson from this.
