If I could make a single suggestion on any and all future interviews....it would be to ask the whistleblower this question...
Why should anyone watching believe what you are saying?
The answer to that...or more specifically the reaction to that question would speak volumes about the person being asked.

Chamber your comments on Kerry's interview style may be true to some extent. It seems to me interview styles depend on the format and the relationship between the subject and interviewer.
For example Mike Wallace and many like him might take a "Devil's advocate" point of view to provoke a reaction that might reveal more than the subject would normally by provoking an
emotional response. This is decidedly not in the non-dualistic frame you are calling for. The way clever journalists conduct interviews might be a grab bag of techniques to elicit unguarded reactions.
Non-dualistic principles don't really apply journalism the way you've described. It's the age old argument about bias in reporting. The mere act of placing more attention on one subject over another is an indication of dualistic bias. There is no "non-dualistic perspective" in an interview because the questions require a desire for answers. (She might have asked Aaron what is the sound of one hand clapping.
)
PC has said that theirs is not a conventional style. I find it helpful to watch, read, and listen to material from a variety of sources and let my intuition sort it out. ATM this interview is still settling into my subconscious..
"3optic, why should anyone believe what you're saying?"
"They shouldn't. I have Munchausen Syndrome. I like getting attention from people on weird esoteric forums."
