Marred interview

October 31, 2025

I strongly support the review of David Marr’s interview with Chris Hedges. It was a disgrace and I have cancelled my subscription to Late Night Live’s podcasts.

I do take issue with her apology for the “pun” she feels she has made by saying that the interview was marred by his tactics as an interviewer. I think we should embrace the word as an apt descriptor of the techniques used by an aggressive journalist who hectors his guest and seems incapable of any self-reflection when the guest defends himself against invalid criticisms.

The LNL interview was “Marred” for me. Many thanks to the writer for her open letter.
