>>140370It happens all the time, this probably isn't the two hour plus interview Putin gave this year. Some of his interviews are downright bizarre, over a dozen flight attendants as interviewers? Problem has always been distribution, back in the 80's and early 2000's with the right equipment and encryption codes you could get direct satellite feeds from news orgs and some tapes of unedited interviews were circulated. Now being sent through internet only a very few release the entire thing.
I don't remember which Micheal Moore movie it was that showed some behind the scenes interview makeup and prep of major politicians but that's where the footage came from. There was a pretty big tape circulation scene back then for this niche.
