I just saw it. What really got my attention was the way Gabler and Hall tried to shout down Jim, Cal, and even Eric Burns. That's not righteous indignation, that's "We've lost the argument and we can't let the other side get their views out!" that is prevalent among the left on college campuses and Congress today.

tried to shout down

Many hosts on FoxNews channel (and some of the other cable news channels) are bad about letting those shout-fests go on. No one gets heard and both sides look childish and petty.

Of course, the shouter does so when they have lost the verbal battle, so they try to shout down the other side to keep them from being heard. It is an old technique.

I have quit watching several FoxNews and other cable news programs because some hosts seem frequently to lose control and allow the shout-fests to go on and on. One day Neal Cavuto, usually a decent host, allowed one shout-fest to continue for a full 5 minutes. It was a complete waste of air time. No one got heard and it resembled a Jerry Springer Show segment.
