To whoever wants to read this:sorry for my horrible writing!
I can not hear anymore ANY senator or representative, I start feeling physically uncomfortable, it’s weird but it’s very real. So I can hear the first part of this podcast when there’s none of that.
I watch A LOT OF SKY NEWS UK, even when the local news are boring because they are not familiar, I enjoy the way of the interviews, SO DIFFERENT!! They actually challenge when they interview politicians, they take the opposite point of view, they interview all sides, and they don’t let them go on and on…they interrupt: “forgive me but your NOT answering my question” again and again, it’s truly awesome.
If you are not used to, in the beginning, it gets a little uncomfortable, and then you realize they are actually doing their job, which is supposed to be hard and a little uncomfortable sometimes, not these interviews where a reporter is always helping the guest, like is part of the job to prostrate at their feet, so we think they are something they aren’t.
The Sky News way is not perfect, but it’s so much better, to see same reporters taking opposite sides so easily, with respect but NOT giving up and so professionally, much more the way it’s supposed to be.
Rachel Maddow: in my opinion it’s weird that you never ever ever criticize anybody from “your side”, is not natural, or normal, what kind of reporter are you totally blind to some liars, never a comment on plain imbeciles in “your side”.
You are crazy smart, and the way you tell a story is hypnotizing, but you lose respect, and is imposible to suspend the disbelieve because is not fiction, you talk about real life, and I do not believe you don’t see and know how horrible some people in your side are.
Not talking about it, ever, makes you not brave, not professional and I feel, a deceiver of your faithful audience, you paint a world where the a**holes are always the other people and never among “us”, you are brilliant at it, and trapped in it, I’d love to hear you be sincere, but after so long, you will never be that: free, comfortable being free, never mind how much money you make and how many hours you spend fishing or whatever…I don’t know, practice! Practice! Maybe you find a way, in an older age, to feel comfortable being free, and you can sincerely write a book about the good and the bad of both parties, as if they were (what they are), players in two frivolous rivals football teams, and not the outcome of an almost intangible, God inspired paragraph, written with a feather in 1787.
