I can stand listening to him on his show, because he's the only one speaking. On H&C, however, he's terrible. He just won't shut up and let anyone else express a thought.

I didn't see that particular program but, as described, it's just part of what I call the "cable shout-show syndrome." The typical example would be one or to hosts and two, three, or four guests all interrupting each other, simultaneously babbling prepared talking points, with the end result being a cacophany of incoherence.

It's just typical of the rudeness and grandstanding incivility of modern media.

Recently on FOX, Neil Cavuto had Barney Frank on and employed the usual technique. At one point Barney said to Cavuto, "Neil, if you interrupt me every five words WE DON"T HAVE A SHOW!"

I don't like his politics but Frank was right!
