Face the Nation host is horrible

Allowing RNC talking head Ronnald McDonald to dominate the conversation and give a commercial for the orange anus.

Just like trump, McDaniel ignores the questions and interrupts the host, who lets her.

Outrageous.

I turn the channel whenever one of the repuke talking heads is on because it just ends up being a speech by the vomit-inducing MAGAt instead of an interview. Margaret Brennan refuses to even try to take control.

And I'm noticing now that Governor Whitmer is very respectful, and doesn't spew up crap.

I remember Rachel Maddow did a comparison of appearances by John Kerry in 2005 vs. John McCain in 2009. I think Kerry had only one or two appearances while McCain had around 15.

There's such an avalanche of GOP misdeeds, crimes, and administrative horrors that the only "defense" is a constant - and extremely loud and pugnacious - offense. Talk constantly, talk loud, be truculent, and never allow the Democrats to get a word in edgewise. It's been the GOP offensive game plan since the days of Newt Gingrich. It's been taken to an entirely new and extreme level now with the "reign" of Donald Trump though.

Why talk show hosts allow this bad behavior is a mystery to me. Cut them off, cut their mics, go to commercial, DO ANYTHING, but don't allow these fucking bullies to control the narrative, and in essence the entire program, with their bad behavior.
