I don't loathe interviews, I'm just one of those people who makes music because I find it difficult to talk.
It is harder to lie in an interview. A good interview - and it can be polite - is not a one way street like a candidate controlled ad. An interview is not programmed by the candidate and so the candidate can't be exactly sure what will be asked.

There's the trope about an impending "global-warming encyclical. " The pope is preparing an encyclical on nature and the environment, including the human environment (which includes the moral imperative of a culturally affirmed and legally recognized right to life from conception until natural death).

Donald Trump claims - he did interview after the debate where he said, well, gosh, you can't find Americans to do these jobs to be waiters or waitresses or bellhops. What ridiculous nonsense.

Instead, he brought in foreign workers, because they're captive workers, because you can pay them less because they can't leave.
