Several Freepers, including me, agree with you that Hannity doesn’t let people finish speaking, finishes their statements for them, ESP and that kind of step stuff. /sarc
But here’s a theory about why he does that.
Given that Hannity reasonably knows how his guests are going to answer his questions, what he may be doing is finishing their sentences for them, except condensing what they’re probably going to say into fewer words, New York minute and all that.
By finishing what people are probably going to say in shorter time than they are probably going to say it it, Hannity satisfied with a guest’s nod of approval of his insight, Hannity is able cover more material with a guest before the next commercial.
Insights welcome.
No.
That is exactly what Sean is doing. He is going by the clock, wrapping things up, finishing their thoughts, because in his mind he has 4 other points that need to be made in 45 seconds.... I get it, but he can start to change his habit slightly to appear more courteous and to encourage both guests and listeners. It would take 3 weeks and his new habit would be ingrained. And he will see that it’s ok if he doesn’t get to point 3 tonight, get it tomorrow. And I love Sean and appreciate him but he should probably try to amend his working only by the seconds hand.
