Henry Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 It seems like Gregor is deliberately asking stupid questions because he knows he will get an interesting answers. I like Gregor generally and think he does a decent job. However his interview style is generally lazy and pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red DNA Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Typical journalist, have to ask a question even if it’s already been answered. Seen this issue on so many Covid presentations by the like of Laura Kunnesburg it becomes embarrassing Gregor seems a decent sort of guy but up against Nige he’s a bit out of his depth but it’ll help him learn to ask more meaningful questions in future interviews?

!james Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 He seems to ask a stupid/irrelevant question and when he is given a blunt response he decides to double down and drill deeper into it... Seems bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregor doesn't seem to be learning though does he, and when he asks the same question twice, just worded differently, it shows up how green he is. I've said before, he can learn loads very quickly by interviewing someone like Pearson, but really needs to reign in the stupid questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make you wonder if he's deliberately trying to wind him up by asking stupid and/or repetitive questions, and hoping he gets an "ostrich" type response, to make a name for himself. I don't think he's that clever though to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardy Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Let’s be honest Gregor is nowhere near being a top level journo & he is well out of his depth with Nige. In reality I would say Gregor is more suited to the North Somerset Times or something like that - how he ever got the City gig I will never know! Is he capable of developing into a serious proposition that will get the best out of his interviewees? I won’t hold my breathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Said this in another thread but to me Pearson just comes across as slightly rude. To a degree I don’t think the question matters, you can give a straight but polite response without sounding like Gregor farted as he asked a question. I just think the tone is unnecessary.

Lanterne Rouge Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 I reckon Gregor`s just a bit miffed that his oppo over at the s*gs is getting to do all the comedy interviews now Barton`s in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_b Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Taylor Moore has actively been updating that he is injured on Instagram over the previous weeks.

To be honest I didn’t know/had forgotten that Taylor Moore is injured. GmMG needs to ask ‘silly’ questions for the benefit of the wider audience who don’t do social media.

He can ask about injuries using information publicly available rather than sound stupid by saying he’s vanished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
