especially in the first 10 minutes. Makes me lose interest in watching the rest of the show.

If they are pushed back and called out for their lies. Otherwise it's just free air time.

(6,974 posts)It's like the good cop bad cop thing with his show, so I rarely watch him. I guess he has to have those bad cop thuglicans on there. When Lawrence has Republicans on his show, they're usually ones who I can find common ground/agreement with.
Chris is a nice guy, very bright--but I don't really care for his show format.

(7,633 posts)completely inept at interviewing right wingers. He never pushes back, its almost as if he is too shy to interrupt them. The end result is that they spew their drivel with impunity every time. Compare to Joy Reed for example to see how its supposed to be done.

(6,974 posts)That's why I stopped watching him a few years back.
I can't remember who the rude thuglican woman was (She was Blonde, very heavy set) who he was interviewing about 3 years ago, but she really lit into Pres. Obama over ObamaCare, and Chris allowed her to gish-gallop, lie, to ramble for 10 minutes, until she reached the point of insulting Pres. Obama. Chris just sat there looking blankly at her. Not sure if you've ever watched the Brady Bunch, but he looked exactly like Cindy Brady did when she was on that television show and froze up when asked a question she knew the answer to Back to your original point: Chris cannot interview thuglicans. He allows then to gish-gallop, misrepresent and flat out lie
Rep. Barbara Lee was on after her, and Lee tried to go piece by piece to correct that thuglican clown's misrepresentation/lies. But of course, Chris rushed BARBARA along--albeit it in a very courteous manner That big, nasty thuglican woman took most of the time for that Health Care segment lying and gish-galloping all the while, and Barbara was reduced to rushing her retort along, and she really got very little time.
Damn Chris, DO BETTER!
