^ Thanks, dj - I had the impression that it gave pretty reasonable news coverage.
I briefly watched one program called "Hardball" which was exactly as you describe, with the host interupting and talking across the poor invited guest.
EDIT: thanks, Frownland

On topic, I was reminded of a dialogue in a book by C.S.Lewis, which went something like:-
"What do you enjoy in life?"
"I enjoy weather."
"Yes, I like nice weather too."
"No, I like weather. I don't mind what sort of weather it is; I just like any kind of weather. Every day is a little different, you see."
Not many of us are so even-handed about our likes, especially as we are encouraged to choose favourites from an early age; favourite color, favourite food, favourite tv prog. And of course by choosing a favourite, by implication you are finding fault with the other options.
Some people are content just to celebrate their favourites, but others take a lot of pleasure from criticising their non-favourites too. Why that is, I'm not sure though. So my answer to Trollheart's intriguing question is "Don't know."
