“Even though, of course, Ingraham butted in before Logan was through”

I give Lara credit for not letting that babbling blond stop her from saying what she wanted to say. Most of Laura’s comments are just restating the obvious. The only thing good about her show are her guests, and Laura would rather she get her points in than let her guests finish.

FNC primetime, 8-11 pm, has hosts with whom I largely agree, but they’re all obnoxious as hell. Seriously, I’d rater watch Fredo on CNN. At least he’s entertaining.

Almost all FNC shows rush their guests, and don’t let them finish. I presume it’s because they run on a strict schedule. Shades of Mussolini.

Fox News is on a computerized format with so many slots for short news reports bordered by commercial break after commercial break.

Fox is there to MAKE MONEY NOT FRIENDS!

Hannity and Ingraham are a REAL PAIN in the A$$ when it comes to cutting off interesting guests and their comments.

The REASON: Both are originally from RADIO backgrounds, in fact they're still doing radio shows daily.

In radio "dead air" is a sin. So on TV they think they have to keep talking, even if that means that they constantly "step on" their guests while they're commenting on topics.

I've STOPPED watching BOTH of them because of this.

TUCKER CARLSON is head and shoulders above Hannity and Ingraham when it comes to letting a guest speak uninterrupted.

FNC is strictly run by “whomever is more interested in loads of spot time for the money” than show content. When you see host after host on both FNC and the business side rushing this or that guest since “they don”t have much time” (on three hour shows) you know something is wrong. Don’t get me wrong either.It’s even worse on the driveby channels since they are all cash starved due to lying to the public almost 24/7.
This is why you tube is so important to those of us seeking freedom of expression.We take as much time as we need and there are few if any spots.worst night mare for driveby
TV ever.Enter facebook,youtube, twitter auditors removing anything that might help us and hurt the driveby contingent.

Lou Dobbs is the poster boy for that sort of “interview”: He spends most of his show pontificating, while allowing the guest to get the occasional sentence in just prior to a commercial or the end of the segment. I had to stop watching him also.

Tucker is not obnoxious. Neither are the others. Truth is all I care about. All three are courageous Patriots whom all leftists would love to see disappear, while you are watching Fredo lie.
