Ask yourself, do you really want to talk to pair of really nice gaudy shoes?

As a mexican, I just think that these 2 people (Sean and Kate) are so out of the reality we all live everyday, that they thought it would be cool and adventurous to interview the most wanted man on earth. El Chapo says in the interview that he only uses violence when trying to defend himself, which must me 99% of the time when taking turf from another cartel to defend his business or from defending his from being taken over.

In the end, El Chapo was way over his head (as most people like him finally are) and tried to finance a biopic using hollywood, which was finally his undoing.

I have no doubt that El Chapo is bad dude but it is somehow wrong to interview anyone who's infamous? Ted Kaczynski, Timothy McVeigh, George Bush, etc

It's less the interview and more the baldfaced political statement by two guys who either find reality inconvenient or can't recognize it. The substance of the interview itself, as far as information or insight, is nearly non-existent. It's mostly just Sean Penn ruminating on his farts, both literally and figuratively.

I do get a kick out of Sean Penn "burning" cellphones every day, while all interested parties (Mexicans both in the service of and looking for El Chapo) know exactly where El Chapo is.

About the only thing this interview points out of any value is that there will be another El Chapo immediately after this one is removed. It makes no difference. You can either legalize or sit back and endure an eternity of this.

I still don't see the problem, Penn is a journalist. El Chapo is a story.

Exclaiming for his murder because of an interview is just extreme, poor journalism on the other hand...
