Interview with Mr Wellington
Sir,—When television burst upon us we were given the impression that it would take us to the core of events and to the core of people. It would strip away evasion, hypocrisy and deceit. No more would speakers be able to sway our emotions and direct our thinking by rhetorical devices. Truth would prevail and we would enjoy it. Gradually we are becoming disillusioned as is shown by the questionings about the recent “interview” with the Minister of Education on “Press Conference” (TVI, June 12). We either get a boring reiteration of stock bureaucratic vague statements of a speech prepared in segments; poorly trained reporters and timid questioners, serve only to connect “dem dry bones.” Increasingly, television lacks entertainment and fails to satisfy the instinctive desire for truth.—Yours, etc., TERRY CUTLER. June 28, 1983.
