Sure it seems a bit strange that Peter had made 30 minutes worth of video production, and he seemed to have been struggling so much about whether 1) Bukele is a dictator or not, or 2) is passing bitcoin as legal tender the right course of action for the country.. and even in his interview with Bukele, it seems that he had not prepared enough... in terms of talking about various aspects of what Bukele is doing or wants to do and even how much interaction that the administration might have been attempting to make with the people and/or businesses.. or even talking about the mining that they might be preparing to do, but if you just ask "are you a dictator or not?" That is not even a very open ended question, and it just seems as if the underlying facts were not really fleshed out, even though it seems that Bukele was willing to have an interview and has not even shown a history of being closed off.. but if you ask closed ended questions, that's not going to get any interviewee to open up whether he is a regular peep or a president.
I admit i do not know much about PMC, but his name kept floating around for a while now on twatter. He seems a bit inexperienced to me, he seems to try to come around like Michael Moore but destroys this image with questions that remind me of Ali G. (S.B. Cohen) intruductions, like the one you mentioned as a pretty on-point example.
I like his engagement for Bitcoin, but i hope he will improve a lot as a journalist in the near future, which also takes somewhat of a set of balls and nifty interview tactics sometimes. I feel he would want to work on a more serious face impression, too.
As of the question, sometimes a sane dictator seems to do a better service to a poor country than some form of democracy, imho.
I want you to take note that i don't give Bukele any credit for being a particularly good or bad dictator, leader, president of San Salvador.
EDIT: Taking about ten minutes to find out Michael Moore's name because of my m3m0ry got ChartBuddy three posts in a row
