The Interview Continues

Third in the series…

Vaughn Ververs of CBS News gives his take on the spot:

Humor — With A Point? Bill Richardson is back with a third installment of his popular “job interview” ads. In this one, Richardson explains his commitment to combating global warming to a clearly uninterested job interviewer. The ad is running in Iowa and will soon be on the air in New Hampshire.

While Richardson is getting some attention for his humorous approach to introducing himself to early primary voters, this one has a rather pointed message beyond the subject of climate change. The annoying interviewer, who seems to be representing the media, cares little about the hefty subject Richardson discusses and only wants an answer to the question, “if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?” A not-so-subtle reminder of the media’s inability to focus on the important issues? You be the judge.
