Yeah, I understand the desire to have that human interest piece, but as a journalist if you've already written the story before you do the interview, you're a bad journalist. Fluff isn't necessarily bad (interviews with kids in Gaza is super useful for our understanding of the war, for instance); it just becomes bad when a reporter or an editor decides what the story is at the beginning.
