As someone who did man-in-the-street interviews (“streeters”) as an intern for TV news, I can confirm that these segments all about cherry picking. It’s easy enough to collect enough extremely ignorant or weird answers to the question of the day. The world being what it is, you can count on there being a lot of unsophisticated adults out there in public who are also typically more excited than others to be on TV.
You and the videographer are usually in and out with what you need in an hour at most; 45 minutes if you’re at a tourist venue like this one. This one would be a dream given our sexist society – 30 minutes max with nothing but gold. The only place you’d do better is at a MAGA rally.
