Can't bring myself to watch this interviewer, who doesn't deserve to occupy the same planet, let alone the same room, as Chomsky. Those of you in Britain will probably know that ED recently took over presenting one of BBC Radio 4's flagship programmes, 'PM'. Quite apart from Davis being a charisma-free zone, his servile and ingratiating questioning of Establishment interviewees (who seem to comprise the vast majority of those invited onto the programme) and nerdish fascination with the minutiae of Brexit, handled in a singularly dry and faux-objective way, make it almost impossible not to switch off. The previous incumbent might have been almost as politically suspect, but at least had the redeeming feature of a sense of humour.
