Its appalling that the MSM news networks and their hosts, STILL have not figured out the tactics of GOP "guests" on their shows and how to combat their obvious perpetual strategy to highjack interviews like this. I have no love for Andrea Mitchell, but she is typical of those, especially on CNN, that just cowers back whenever one of these thugs interrupts and then talks on an on dominating the time spot with BS.

And it does work. Not on me, but there is a segment out there that subconsciously at least, connects truth with perceived passion, because of their tactics of talking over in order to get the message out that the evil media is censoring. The body language of the host shrinking back and giving in. Now its probably because its a natural reaction when you expect polite behaviour and instead get the opposite, but it is PERCEIVED as being shamed and exposed as being exactly what the guest is accusing you and your peers in the media of doing.

But my question is why they haven't had any kind of defense against this. Maybe a button to cut audio off. Especially when they have a rep from both sides on if only to give the Dem rep a chance to speak.

I see these female reporters all excited that the FBI garbage might help trump. What, are they just looking forward to being grabbed in the you-know-where? Trump and his supporters are such low-lifes. I never thought this many voters would vacate their morals and ethics just for a repuglican goon. Of course, they've been doing it since they put Noot Gingrich in the house. None of them deserves any coverage in the MSM and they should be pushed back to the fringe where they belong.

What a mess his campaign has injected into America.
Andrea is right to correct his "Fox" cable bombastic gibberish.
