very insightful show
Bob, you have some wonderful guests on the show and I really appreciate all of your insight and the kind of talks you have on this show. i just think that sometimes you don’t give the guests breathing room and space to speak by cutting people off. i think you have the power and intelligence to keep the conversation on a certain course, but need to learn to be comfortable when a guest is saying something thats not contributing to your point and find ways to bring it back to your conversational topic, rather than cutting people off to rephrase the question.
Narcissistic Bob
Scheer has some great guests — if he would let them talk rather than go on and on and on about his past (which is interesting but like hearing grandpa’s story for the 157th time, today) it could be a great show.
I gave up today after he wouldn’t let Kucinich tell his story. Bob told Dennis all about Dennis’ life.
Infuriating
