If you use a combative style then the interviewer is considered as quite aggressive towards the interviewee and can also come across as very determined to get the information out of the person. The interviewer also comes across quite hostile towards the interviewee.
A person who is very good at combative interviewing is Jeremy Paxman and he is known for being very intimidating and aggressive yet tough towards his interviewees especially politicians. Below is a famous interview with the conservative politician Micheal Howard, this interview shows a clear combative style as you can see how Paxman is quite hostile and blunt and is trying to get information out of Micheal Howard. Some people have even claimed that he is even out of line with the questions he asks Michael Howard yet this is just the combative style.
