Crossfire Crosstalk

By October 19, 20042 Comments

The Stewart-Crossfire entry is still bubbling out there. The Washington Post reports on the latest developments yesterday.
What really bothered me about the Stewart’s appearance on Friday was how Tucker Carlson kept interrupting him and not letting him finish a sentence. It seems that that happens how on too many debate shows. It was sort of funny when it was just the McLaughlin Group, but now its basically every political/current events show out there.
Anyway, I wanted to see whether I was right that there’s not much room for reasoned debate on “Crossfire”

    it’s interesting to note that in mental health and drug & alcohol recovery circles, crosstalk is something that is forbidden in groups. it is a primary rule and group participants will quickly jump on the offender commanding “no crosstalk!”.
    maybe crossfire needs a 12-step program.

    I jsut stumbled across your site for the Jon Stewart comments. I’ll be back. I enjoy your perspective, and I agree with you that we need some of that old time journalism integrity, except I might note that it was present from about 1930 to 1960 in this country, maybe.
