I was responding to what felt like an attack on me - I'd never seen the program or heard of the commentator, and judging by the 2 logos on the screen, assumed I was watching a clip from a news program. I think that's a fair assumption.

In spite of this, I think he still was very unprofessional. Commentators in a program like this most definitely need a bias, or else it would be boring, but this guy was basically berating the interviewee. What's the point in asking questions if you're not going to listen to the answer? I can see why people might want to watch this - many dogmatic people like to have their beliefs confirmed by TV, and I'd say that applies equally to the left or right. It's just not news, though. News and entertainment are 2 completely different things, at least they should be. The only time they should cross paths are when discussing who Brad Pitt is sleeping with this week.

I might be adding fuel to the fire, but I've never understood why left and right have to be opposite. Why can't each side admit the other may have good points about some issues?
