  It seems like he was stating a fact, that it is entertainment for many who watch. Most people are not going to take this information and do anything useful with it. Regarding the psychopath comment, it seems like many more Ukrainians (and Russians) would be alive today if the US had not sent military aid to drag out the war. You can argue that the invasion shouldn't have happened in the first place, but these geopolitical events happen for real reasons. Whether we think them just or not in our country, I think we have a duty to consider these and try to keep the peace and save human life, and not antagonize other countries for ideological or corrupt reasons.

      In general, people believe it's best to hear both sides of a story before forming their opinion, if you're this worried that an interview with the other party has any kind of influence in a negative way it means you're doing a horrible job of communicating what you believe to be the truth.

        Russian state modus operandi is the "Firehose of Falsehood" to sow division to achieve their aims. Post 2014 we've seen a deterioration in open communication channels into blatant falsehoods amplified by Russia's Internet Research Agency. But sure, keep that same energy for the NYT softball interviewing Hitler to get his opinion on what Jews are doing wrong and why Poland started it. I'm sure most of the sub 100 IQ simpletons around you won't get swayed and vote to stay out of it, or worse, sow their own hate, no siree.

  I didn’t say that I agreed with them. I developed a defense mechanism about 8 years ago that lets me enjoy the irony and humor in the absurd—and frankly, scary—times we live in without becoming too depressed. I donate money, vote, and stay educated, which I believe is the best way for me to contribute positively.

  Yes, that's usually what interviews with presidents involves. People tuned in to watch George w bush too, and Netanyahu is also interviewed on tv. Do you think that interviews are endorsements? Because that's not the case.

Yep! It’s entertainment.
