Yeah, so it isn't journalism. That's my whole point. It isn't really a search for truth, it's a farce. You can't get to the truth by avoiding the questions that lead to it. People like Putin don't need to be interviewed to show what they are. He's a murderous liar. He's a dictator. That is reality. What other truth is there to find? What could be worse? What could make such a person better? It's futile and only serves to get attention for the interviewer and promote the propaganda of the authoritarian.
