So I bailed
Sometimes there’s good reason to get up and leave an interview. Here’s a detailed account by John Davison, editor for the gaming blog 1UP, about his appearance in 2005 on CNBC’s The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch. Davison claims he was badly misled by the show’s director about the topics to be covered and that in the end it was a show attacking video games as promoting violence - Davison left the set during the first break of the live-to-tape session. I have no knowledge of the show or what Davison is claiming, but it’s an interesting perspective on “abush interviews”.
