Comparing/Contrasting Interviews

"War, Live" describes Terrence Smith's interview about embedding in Iraq and covering wars.  Embedding involves having journalist actually among troops during war.  They are in real danger just like the soldiers are.  They discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and dangers of embedding.  There are essentially two separate interviews being documented, both are pretty blunt.  Curse words are used, and the answers seem to be short and to the point.  "Interview with George Ritzer", on the other hand, is simply a question and response interview concerned only with George Ritzer's opinions on McDonaldised society.  An interviewer asks a short question probing an extended response from George Ritzer, who published "McDonaldization Thesis".
