Lol. If you can get the other side - the Greek government - to talk, I'm ready and willing to interview.

Remember, I interviewed America's leading neo-Nazi shortly after Obama was elected.

Fair enough, I guess I'm just not a fan of the communists or the fascists, they all result in the same thing anyways. One individual that rules with absolute power, I can't help it that I have an opinion. Wouldn't it make more sense to interview people from Greece with no political agendas, you know average citizens? I'm not criticizing this article, I'm just giving my feedback. I realize they probably aren't as willing or as interesting to do an interview on and are likely more difficult to contact but I'd prefer to listen to someone that actually only witnessing these events and not partaking in them. Besides, I'd assume most people already know where the communists stand on issues in general. Again I'm not bashing the article or the author, just giving my opinions and suggestions.

That's more constructive. I would like to get some 'man on the ground' type stuff; although it is - ironically - more difficult. It does help that English is more common there now than it used to be; my Greek extends to 'thank you' and 'you're welcome'.

The fact that you would think that the opposite to Obama are neo-Nazis clearly displays bias

I'd like to see this interview you speak of if you would provide a link to it

I never described him as the opposite to Barack Obama; I produced him as an example that I will talk to anyone, and that I will treat them the same way. He is, in fact, the opposite to the US communist party (who failed to respond to an interview request).

Feel free to pursue US Nazi leader talks about Barack Obama, the economy and more; you will find a mix of questions tailored towards addressing perceptions of Nazism (hint: based on his responses, it remains its old stereotypical self) and a selection that every US political candidate should have answers to.

What I am saying is there are more credible groups opposed to Obama that could have been interviewed.

By choosing to interview the obviously retarded ones as the key opposition, the "other side" as you put it, is clear distortion mongering.

Stop creating strawmen. I still haven't described him as the other side. The point of bringing the man up is to demonstrate that I will talk to anyone. America was in full Obama-fever; asking a professional racist about him is going to be, ah, controversial.

You say that you talk to the other side if they are willing to talk, and to support you point you say that you interviewed neo-Nazis after Obama was elected. There is no strawman here, just misdirection on your end.

I'd like to see a full list of your interviews

No... I still used it as an example of speaking to absolutely anyone, to counteract implied suggestions I selected someone I agreed with and was therefore biased towards them. It is you who is misinterpreting what is written. The Nazi is there to support 'ready and willing to interview' not 'the other side'.

I'd like to see a full list of my interviews too, but I know of nobody who has nothing better to do than compile one.
