Is anyone watching the "Health care debate"?

Well, @ 11:00 AST Shepard Smith starts his show, as usual.

Immediately cuts off, Sen. Grassley speaking live, at the debate.
And goes to J. Thune, outside the capital.
Smith asked him a question, and as soon as Thune tries to respond.
Smith cuts him off and goes on a tirade. Then asks him another question, as soon as he tries to respond again. Does the same thing again, and ends the interview.

Brings on a Democratic Senator.
Ask him a question. Lets him talk for a couple of minutes.
And goes off on another tirade, and ends the interview.

The only live debate speaking.
He would let play full, was when every time Obama spoke.
Go figure!

I don't care which party, is being interviewed.
You don't continuously degrade, and talk down a guest.
That is how you get guests, to refuse interviews.

What the hell, kind of reporting is this?
Shepard Smith, is just as bad a Gerardo Rivera.
They are just mouth pieces, who love hearing their own voices!!
Both of these shows, are a joke!

I think it was on C-SPAN. I'm sure it was in full there.

I just got home from work...I'm dying to see what was said today.

I wonder if they considered the fact that most working folks are at work during the day...

Now why would you want to go and disparage dogs and ponies like that?

you are correct. News organizations have a real tendency to manage the flow of information. CBS was a real leader in this many decades ago.

Of course, what really happens is the loss of viewers who will not stand for this obvious manipulation of events. CBS went from one of histories great news organizations to just another player in the news market.
The same can happen to any news organization.

More and more I come to respect the wisdom of Mr. Reuter who founded his news service on "the facts and only the facts". His reporters knew their only job was to find the truth of events and report same to headquarters. Based upon this formula Reuters became one of Europe's premier news organizations. People trusted the reporting to be honest even if the story was disagreeable to them.

They will rip and snort and paw and bellar and then one way or another,pass government health care which is exactly what they all planned to do anyway before they got shook up by the people.Welcome to "change we can believe in",Komrad. ,,,sam.

[TACAV]

I watched that, (the conference in general) what a waste of my time and our tax money.

[samuel]

All of the news casters bailed on it.c-span is the only one that kept it on. ,,,sam.

Yea, I agree. If Shepard, or anyone else for that matter is asking or going to ask someone a question he and they need to shut the hell up and let them answer it.

I like him, won't say love, a guy thing, lol, but Bill O'Reillay does the same thing. Invites guests on, asks a question and as soo as they try or start to, he interrupts them.

Some have said something about it and he says, the commercials are timed and I gotta keep the show moving otherwise it cuts right to commercial.

Well ask your question, let them answer and if they aren't done answering THEN interrupt telling them to hold that thought, have to go to commercial and you'll be right back.

Don't ask a question and then tell them what YOUR answer is or would be or go off on a tirade. lol

But I think they all do it because commercials are timed and if they don't let us know they'll be back it'll just cut them off and then they appear unprofessional in that aspect.

But I hear ya' and I got to agree with you 100% grizcy. lol

On a side note: to me, Shepard seems to think he's all that. lol

I am thorougly tired of both the republican and liberal democrat fan boys "Fox/NBc"

It's just pathetic how they twist facts and manipulate the simpletons who observe there pathetic excuse of journalisim.

It seems only the extreme nut jobs on either end are on the news nowdays.

There is no middle ground it seems.

[Deersniper]

Hannity and O'Reilly does the same things. The conservative networks are justifiying the RINOS and the liberal ones are justifying the Socialists. I just use the TV for weather and DVD's
