Martha McCallister, Gretta VanSusteran, Hannity and Cholms, Bill O'Rielly, Geraldo and a bunch of others won't let there guests talk if that guest isn't saying what they want to hear. Have you ever noticed how they interrupt and try to talk over other people, and how 3 or 4 people will rudely try to talk at the same time, and then nobody can hear anyone at all?

Well first it's not CNN it's FOX NEWS. Yeah sometimes they do. The reason is they are trying to usually get the person to answer a question they asked, and the person is trying to dodge it or talk around it. So they ask again, and again, trying to get a straight answer. O'Rielly is the worst for it but he does it usually to try to do the same as I said above or to make a point. The guys at CNN will ask a question and will let the other person just say what ever they feel like and never ask them again about a question that they obviously talked around or just did not answer. They are so nice that you can say anything and it not have anything to do with the question. That drives me crazy when politicians and people do that, it shows that they do not want America to really know where they stand on an issue. So I do agree that they could be a little more relaxed in how they do it, but I am glad they do try to make the person answer the question. =)

Yes it's annoying when you try to watch! And it kinda gets boring after a while i mean if you can't hear Gretta talk because Martha is talking over her it's gotta get boring. To settle us down hes a friendship poem: Friendship is a chain of gold, Shaped in God's all perfect mold, Each link a smile, a laugh a tear, A grip of the hand, a word of cheer, As steadfast as the ages roll, Binding chosen soul to soul; No matter how far, or heavy the load, SWEET is the journey on Friendship's Road. Thank you for the intresting question im gonna put a point up to say it's intresting

Yes, I've noticed.
The difference I believe is that, over at CNN, they make sure everyone has rehearsed or knows what to say ahead of time.
It's much neater that way.

I have noticed, yes. It is the case with many cable journalists. It is very unprofessional.

You can turn to another channel such as c-span/c-span2 and watch live discussions on important issues.
