If anyone has seen the show, or read the transcript, of Ann Coulter's appearance on the new Philth Dohahue, notice that he wanted to blather about her PREVIOUS book. Also, he would ask her a question, and in the middle of her answer, he would interrupt with another question on a totally different subject. He is a very sloppy host, not to mention a moron.

Also heard Ann on Hannity with Lannie Davis. He said she was a hateful namecalling bore over and over and over, and wouldn't talk about issues! It never occured to him that he was doing the very thing he accused her of.

I believe that the "sloppiness" is no such thing. If you watch the discourse it is supposed to be polite and fair. If you are booked to a 10 minute segment of O'Reilly, Hanitty et al you would expect that the host gets 4 minutes and each guest respondent 3 minutes. The liberal technique is to overstate his or her position and then interrupt and attempt to get as much of the alloted 6 minutes. In a real debate there are time limits and rules to achieve fairness.

Recently,one of the Fox News "heads" I think it was Vesper lost control of a three way talking head interview and at one point she yelled that she was going to shut off the mikes if calm wasn't restored.

I wish there was a dump switch so that this tactic could be highlighted. I know I've yelled at the screen when this behavior is so outrageous. It will eventually be eliminated by proper moderating. Of course with Dungaphew it'll never happen since his show is all about his agenda.

Not to mention him quoting parts of the thoroughly discredited David Brock. Those are Ann's words BTW.
