And the people say…………….
FOX News Channel Voted "Most Rude"
By CSW Reader SurveyWe get the majority of our news from FOX. We love the channel.
One thing, however, bugs the heck out of most of us and that is the way they rudely interrupt and cut short virtually every live guest they invite on. In the background you can hear the hosts saying, "Alright, okay, okay, we are short of time, we have to take a break now." And that happens within seconds of the host asking a guest to explain the third chapter of Atlas Shrugged, the novel.
The worst was John Kasich of "Heartland" followed by John Gibson of "The Big Story." Kasich's show is now off the air and Gibson is getting much better. The "Big Story" is one of our favorites. But, the complete lineup of shows needs to stop the "hurry up" syndrome and the hosts should at least pretend to have an interest in what the guests are saying. And have a floor manager notify the guests through hand signals how much time he/she has left for an answer or comment. Trust us FOX, slow down.
It seems those in charge at FNC are more concerned with the quantity of segments than with the quality of segments. Everything is rushed to the point that the guests have no chance to say good-bye, thanks, kiss off or whatever.
Most annoying is the Saturday business block consisting of "Bulls and Bears," "Cavuto on Business," "Forbes on FOX," and "Cashin In." All four of the shows have good content................if you can understand what they are saying above all the yelling and screaming. Pure chaos. And Mr. David Asman of Forbes on FOX, please allow your panelists to finish a sentence before interrupting, pretty please?!
Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your attention and have a good evening.
The bar is open.
How do you see it?
