Naomi holds her own as JD puts fingers in ears and sings "la la la" while he talks over her.

I have to compliment Fox for actually putting her on the air, though.

1. i saw this interview last week. John had his mind made up from the beginning to diss
her and her ideas from the first moment of the interview.
AND, he as rude to her.

2. Those incredibly stupid
talking head jobs are all alike -- as predictable as the 10 points Naomi has enumerated.

They're so f***ing stupid because they don't know how to f***ing listen or entertain anything remotely related to intelligent discourse.

And they think they are being oh, so clever at disguising their muffling of truth.

Bah! Who is this ignorant pogue?

3. ha ha
He used to be a GOP Congressman bent on balancing the federal budget.

Remember, one of Wolf's points is "controlling the press".

4. In Faux News interviews of good people, the Faux News animal always speaks more than the person
being interviewed. They only have "good" people on their shows so they can preach at them. Naomi did a great job of not allowing him to distract her from her message. He won't last long if he doesn't figure out how better to overspeak his guests from the good side.

5. Not that Kasich was giving Wolf much of a chance to speak...
...but where she really needed to challenge that idiot was whenever he said "these people", as in "these people are enemy combatants", "these people are trying to kill us", etc.

She should have pointed out how many of "these people" have turned out to be completely innocent, that the whole problem is who decides who "these people" are and the lack of accountability surround those decisions, that "these people" get the same harsh treatment for years before having any possible chance, in a very biased situation of presumed guilt, to prove their innocence, and that the conditions of secrecy surrounding how "these people" are held are perfect for abuse of innocent people and cover-ups of mistakes.

With the few words she could get in edgewise Wolf should have come down on Kasich hard for his cartoonish oversimplifications about "letting these killers go free". Perhaps it's too easy to criticize from the sidelines when it wasn't me who had to undergo the pressure of the interview situation, but it's still hard for me not to feel that, rigged though the game was, she could have handled it a lot better.

8. That dude...what a tool
I'm so glad I don't watch Fox News. No wonder those people who do are so misinformed. He had no interest in a debate, let alone a discussion.

John,
What about those enemy combatants, you god damn moron! Nation of laws? You contradict yourself within two breaths and you don't even notice. Nobody could pay me enough to be that stupid, but I guess they found your price.

What a jerk.

9. Isn't an interviewer's job to ask a question and then
LISTEN to the answer?

10. "You never answered specificly."
The only thing keeping me from voting for this video is because it is mostly of Kasich interrupting Wolf, criticizing her with false and factually inaccurate arguments.

He criticizes her for "not answering his questions", but I defy you to find a single sentence spoken by Wolf where Kasich doesn't interrupt her.
