I hope most are aware that several such "interviews" whether bollywood, corporate, political are staged? Similar to paying big bucks to getting yourself on Page 3 type scenario and having your raunchy music videos aired on MTV/V/B4U...
Very true. This is a shady business that's given a decent name called PR by the media who's out to sell its space to the highest bidder.
So one way of getting positive sound bytes is to stage such positive interviews where we can get in whatever we want.. just need a compliant journalist.. and there are plenty out there i am sure. There are several precedents since mythological times where the end has justified the vily means of even our Gods.
We do have a journalist ( FN ) who is dedicated to FOSS and writes about its events in the press and is a member of many GLUGs too. Why not co-ordinate with him.
