How about Obama spying on the press and allies, why the short memory on that criminality?

I find it amazing that he’s able to get these people to come on the show. He just lets them talk and talk until they’ve buried themselves so deep that they can’t dig out.

I’m enjoying this.

Listen to a long-time radio or TV professional -- from anywhere on the political spectrum -- conduct an interview, and you'll notice that you rarely hear these incessant interruptions and constant competition to get points in edge-wise (from both sides).

Carlson seems like he doesn't conduct these interviews for the sake of interviewing a guest, but for the sake of making his own point. That's not an interview at all ... it's mounting a soapbox with a prop on the screen. I'd rather hear Carlson just read the guy's editorial and shred it to pieces without the moron on the TV screen with him.

Like I said ... Carlson is not very good at this format, even though I agree with him 100% and I think his direct, concise approach to picking something apart is awesome.

Because Obama is a known liar, and Democrats tamper with elections all the time.

They have even admitted as much.

Who wants to watch an interviews of the left filibustering fake narratives?, i enjoy a commentator like Tucker who challenges the fake news. In normal times , it may be rude to interrupt guests to get a point across, but these are not normal times. The left has manipulated the language so that people who disagree with their remedies are made to look like fools, because what president wants the government controlled by foreign powers (sic),, none, but that is not even the issue, and without challenging these rubber terms like meddling in an election , there is no way to set the record straight on the use of the language. For example, feeding the voters with false information is highly unethical, but providing them true information is not unethical, To the. contrary the emails were needed for a fair election. However, letting the left get by with slandering information when its truthful information , as in this case has to be challenged to their face to get them to concede they are manipulating terms and phrases to achieve the outcome as a disregard of the truth .

They could trap Obama with his own testimony. Never mind that he lies. The MSM makes believe he never lies.

The Dems are upset that their seaminess was exposed, ...

Okay, HRC's illegal server open to HS hackers wasn't a problem, Pizza Podesta's gmail account "hacked", and what's the point? What happened to the guy that hacked Palin's AOL (?) account?

BHO sat, er, choomed on his butt for days when the OPM was hacked. Did the DNC not realize that dems are the problem?

Heck, WJC "let" the Chinese hack a US nuclear research facility because a donor wanted the security contract, and cut corners with WJC's permission.

He always does. I’m surprised anyone from the left agrees to be on his show.

I think it's a challenge like riding a mechanical bull.

So according to this clueless idiot’s logic he believes that political ads are a bad thing because they can influence how people vote.

Good interview. Tucker stays focused on both lack of evidence and what info should have remained unknown by the voters.

I was interested in the quick discussion on our government having no reason to lie to the people.

That editor lied by omission on that one. He knows that Obama lied his ass off to the America people about Benghazi.

I went back and rewatched the video in question. The subject was on for approximately 5:40. The first time Carlson “interrupted” him was when he paused and apparently had finished his statement. As soon as Carlson started his reply, the guy started talking again. So, who interrupted whom?

To be fair, this video is certainly not the worst example of what you are talking about.

You can’t cover much ground in 5 minutes no matter who is doing the interview. It would be different if there was an hour, a half hour, or even 15 minutes to work with. The format imposes a severe constraint on both parties and forces them into these confrontational situations.

TV news is as much entertainment as it is informational, and that drives the format. Based on his ratings, Carlson is very successful at what he does.

Yes, Carlson has an agenda, as do his guests. That’s part of the format. He’s not there to do puff pieces.

Would he be as successful if he gave his guests free rein to ramble on, repeatedly evade direct questions, change the subject, and basically run out the clock?

I agree with all of that. With just a few exceptions this was not a very egregious example of Carlson's annoying (in my opinion) approach to interviews. And he's not even the worst example of this, either. At least he's clear, concise and hard-hitting when he does speak/interrupt. A far more annoying host is someone like Sean Hannity who brings a guest on for an interview and then spends most of the time talking himself. There are a couple of NYC sports radio hosts like this, and they are so bad that I can't even listen to them anymore.

Here's one bit of evidence that Carlson really overdoes it in his interviews ... including this particular case where it wasn't all that bad compared to others he's done:

Did you learn anything in the 5:40 that the guy was on the air that you couldn't have gotten in two minutes if the interview was done effectively? I sure didn't. Between the interruptions and the repetitive questions, most of that clip was a waste of time. And that's not just me saying that, mind you. There were other messages on this thread from people who said they couldn't even watch it for more than a few minutes. In the radio or TV business, that's a lost customer.

One more thing -- in defense of both Carlson and his guest on this ...

It looks to me as if there was a short delay in the radio/TV feed between the two, so they both may have had some difficulty knowing when the other one was finished talking or getting ready to talk during the conversation.

All the fake news is a distraction; deflection.

Mountains of evidence of DEMOCRAT TREASON, BRIBERY, HIGH CRIMES, AND MISDEMEANORS were exposed by the wikileaks dumps, many of the offenses worthy of death penalties, and all these commie pukes can discuss are their feeble jabs about how the information was exposed.

No surprise. These commie pukes are also guilty.

And the Chinese government’s hacking of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) office (2014). 2.1 million current/retired Federal employees’ records/files were compromised.

Why do we so quickly forget about Obama’s DHS trying to hack into Georgia’s election data? Why did that happen? What was the employee who did trying to do? Who was it? Were they fired and/or prosecuted?
