I don't know in which interview you saw, but the one I saw involved journalist respectfully asking grilling questions to a PM of a failed state. If in the name of respect we don't ask these sort of questions then what's the validity of journalism? Point me to one particular question, word or language used that says he was disrespectful to the PM. Grilling, that too when warranted, is not disrespect. I would have been even harsher cornering the PM.
