Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan

I tried watching the interview with Rep Jeffries.

When Brennan wasn't interrupting Jeffries, she was responding with hmm mm and "right" which told me she wasn't listening just waiting to peddle the next both sidesism talking point or sound bite. She was clearly more focused on badgering and achieving her own agenda, treating this very critical issue as some sort of contentious game between both sides. Of course with her probably 6 figures salary, Face the Nation is her personal showcase, and she demonstrates her indifference. There is no evidence of her understanding that this debt ceiling fight is manufactured by the Maga GOP to protect the 1% et al.

The first sign of bias is the refusal to listen. This program is long in interruptions and short on listening. No need to watch unless you like bickering without any positive results. Hey...reasonable people disagree, especially in politics and religion. But asking a question for the sake of pretense and launching your point of view vaguely disguised as the next question when the guest is one sentence into their answer is a reason to ignore this show.

Face the Nation had sometimes good times, sometimes bad times, sometimes good work-up of topics, sometimes poor showmanship, sometimes good and sympathetic moderators, sometimes weak ones who can't do their craft. A symbol of how difficult it is in a capitalist society to do right and good work with capitalist news programs.

I used to enjoy watching Face the Nation on Sunday mornings. I found the show to be informative and thought provoking. I stopped watching because it depends on the political party affiliation of the guest if you get any respect. I tuned in for the 1st time today and Margaret has chosen to ramp up the attacks. It was very obvious since the next guest did not get the same tone on their interview. I guess that is what is being asked of journalists to have a career in the business. I don't need the attitude just the facts. Face the Nation will be a staple on Sunday mornings, it will just have to continue without me.

This moderator (Margaret Brennan) interrupts, pushes and accuses her interviewees, leaves a negative taste in my mouth. Her arrogant attitude irritates and I have to focus on good people to tolerate this show or often I turn it off.
