he is going to end up with a serious news program on a big network.

If Joh Stewart keeps this up....

I was impressed with Musharraf, but again, Stewart cant interview for crap sometimes. Cutting off the Pres. several times mid-sentence, etc...
If he just got the fundamentals down he wouldnt be so bad. He asks pretty decent questions sometimes.

I remember you saying that before and when I watched him before I thought you were right. He doesn't really have his timing down, doesn't know when to speak and when to shut up.
Ya but he's a comedia, not a classical, serious journalist. I do agree however, it gets pretty damn annoying at times.
He has a quick mind however. Interviewing people like that is NOT simple.

I think most of his crappy interviewing comes from the fact that he's got 0.003 milliseconds to complete an interview. They need to mix up their format a bit and have some extended visits every once in a while. His show (well, since he took over) has always needed to be an hour.
I wonder if it pisses off all the "serious" journos at CNN that far and away the best show on the whole network is basically a pisstake of the news. Kind of ironic really.
I think a few of the cnn shows (cnn presents for example) are pretty decent. They are one sided, no doubt, but the stories they present in the program are usually decent. I also like anderson cooper 360 for the comedy.
of course it does; broadcast journalists are by & large egotistical beauty pageant drama queens.
fwiw, fareed zakaria is mah man, followed by brite hume & tucker carlson
If by this you mean they are horrible journalists and particularly lame political commentators, then I agree!
Always depresses me when I'm watching the BBC and it's something truly excellent like the "Facing the Truth" series and then I switch over to CNN and see Solenoid O'Brien moistening her frilly pink knickers over the latest celebrity scandal.
I do however like the fruity Pommy bloke that does the travel show, can't remember his name.

#1. Brite Hume is not a name. It's something my cat did in the litter box this morning.
#2. Tucker Carlson is one of the largest wastes of oxygen this country has seen in a long time. He cries himself to sleep at night while wearing a pressed and lightly starched nighty w/ a bow tie.
i no longer have a cat, but i do recall her little muffins. does this read like cat$hit?
let me guess: it's all the F-bombs in his bio you find repugnant. if so, what shall we then do with all the liberals on the fox payroll? and then: what shall CNN do w/ all the right-leaning hosts?
apart from his nocturnal acrimonious habits, what about his libertarian presentation do you find consistently faulty? as a matter of record, he's more razor sharp than when he was on PBS, where i first watched him (& fareed).
Ugh....it has nothing to do about the network that he's on. I couldn't care less about network agendas and the internal power struggles that t.v. stations go through.
I dislike almost all television "correspondents" due to the fact that they're reduced to sound bites that will make people stand up and say, "God damn it, he's right!! Wait...what did he say...well...he's right anyway." And then they read nothing more into the subject that they're so vehemently for (or against...). It's the same thing on every newz channel. They need mindless drivel to fill time, why not get someone that can kinda-sorta give good face time with Willy Wonka.....
This is the same reason I don't listen to sports radio. Just a bunch of posturing and arguing. Save the analysis for people that actually have the raw data....not someone-that-read-a-report-somewhere-that-said-something-but-has-to-disagree-out-of-principle.
There's a reason I sleep in on Sunday and only get up when the game starts.
