Ask HN: What does everyone think of Charlie Rose?
I witnessed an interview from Charlie Rose to Warren Buffet last night and I was taken back by how interesting it was. I don't want to obsess over his interviews until I get an actual grasp on the guy.
I already obsess over TED talks and my time is needed else where but what does everyone think of him?
I value your opinions and thats why I ask. Thanks for responding.
- coglethorpe 18y agoMaybe I'll have to watch more, as I've always considered him Ambien in human form.
- pasbesoin 18y agoWas it a new interview (Buffet was on a couple of months ago)? Rose does some really good interviews. Can be content heavy. And he also is friends to varying degree with quite a few people. He doesn't appear to deliberately skew interviews on this basis, but one should be aware that his personal connection may at times influence the trust he places in the messages being conveyed. Still, one of the best interview format news sources around. He used to be a lawyer, IIRC, and it shows in his interrogatory. Added: Those personal connections, plus the long format that really gives interviewees a chance to communicate what is of interest to them in a thorough fashion, also mean he gets interviews you won't find anywhere else.
- spoiledtechie 18y agoThank. You described just about what I was looking for. He does in an hour what looks like TED Talks does in 15 minutes.
