Should There be an Empty Chair Interview of President Obama?

Today, on Fox News Sunday, a contentious interview by Chris Wallace of Paul Ryan was televised.

“Then (I believe) he extended an open invitation to President Obama to appear on Fox News Sunday next week, so that he could ask him the same tough questions.

Yep—nothin’ like giving this oh, so coll prez a heads up for the tough questions so his researchers can tell him exactly what to say after having weeks for polling of what voters would like him to say. No media bias here, mike.

Yes, it wouldn't do to ask the same questions.

What I am talking about is the same interview style of mock condescending derision, like "do you really believe what you just said" type of attitude. Just interrogate the President in the same manner, just to be fair.

Once again, you had to have seen the interview, not just read the transcript, and have seen the constant interruptions and haughty attitude from the superior Chris Wallace (at least in his own mind).

BTW, I saw it once and listened to it again on the radio. Ryan handled it well, considering Wallace wouldn’t allow him to answer the qestions.

Chris Wallace loves Obama so his actions should be expected.

On Wednesday, they may as well start the debate when Romney gets to his podium — the “moderator” could always speak for the pResident,,,

IMHO, you are right in that the moderator, being MSM, may very well speak for the president. Romney should address the moderator's "question" in a simple sentence, then say what he wants to say.

Wallace and his ilk are always going to be bullies. It’s a tactic. Yell louder and longer. Doesn’t matter if they tell the truth which they don’t or not.

I agree. The MSM has descended to a new low reminscent of a Soviet Union style propaganda machine. The MSM has to be ‘overthrown’. I am not sure exactly how to do that legally but it must happen. We no longer have freedom of the press. we have collusion of media outlets that front a liberal propaganda machine. It must be effectively exposed and then stopped

I agree. The Mainstream Media today is a soviet style propaganda machine - enhanced by Americans. By this I mean that we have taken it to an entirely new level: more efficient and more subtle.

This election cycle, however, it is not so subtle.

We must defeat the Mainstream Media any way we legally can, even if we have to play by their rules.

Chris Wallace, even though he is on Fox News, is definitely Mainstream Media.

Chris seems like a decent sort, but I think he’s still trying to please his daddy.....

[The_Media_never_lie]

Why do you say he looks like the decent sort?

Do you have any evidence of that? Certainly, it’s not just because he’s on Fox News Channel.......

[Ohiobelle]

Well at least we won’t be lied to by a chair.

[clintonh8r]

I didn’t say “looks” I said “seems.”

Certainly, it’s not just because he’s on Fox News Channel.......
