That's what turns me off about Ingraham. She's constantly going on about not being able to sleep, and getting up in the middle of the night, and what she watches on tv.....and calling Lee and on and on and on.
Somebody needs to pull her and aside and coach her into getting rid of "I mean." It's lazy and undisciplined to trash up your speaking with filler phrases. I don't think she prepares much for her show.
Michael Medved, OTOH, is the premiere talk show host in the country. Three hours, three different topics, invites those who disagree to call in. This makes for very interesting radio.
I forgot about Medved---you are right, he always has such interesting guests also---and he will have them for the hour instead of hurrying them through an interview...
Yep--he is great--
