They call him a co-founder of Wikipedia, and the first question is about WikiLeaks. Jimbo must be thrilled.

Then when the second topic is the balance between "rights and responsibility", Jimbo's in dangerous waters, running the world's most irresponsible encyclopedia.

The journalist sounds like a ding-dong. Very over-the-top with theatrics, and just doesn't seem to even understand what a non-profit organization is.

Great. An arrogant loudmouthed asshole Brit interviewing a manipulative twit.
CNN scrapes the bottom of the barrel again. They deserve each other, and
Jimbo deserves this treatment.

Quest's Twitter is even worse. What a charming fellow.
Like Robin Leach, pretending to be a "serious journalist".

Quest started out at the BBC where his 'over the top' style in the Business slots was so much in contrast to the normally reverential tone of the Beeb's economics reporting, that it made him into more a source of enterainment than serious business info. In the end I think he just started to look silly, or even rather mad and was either pushed or at least heavily encouraged to go elsewhere. No-one on this side of the Atlantic would consider Quest a 'serious' interviewer, in fact more the Dame Edna of business reporting
