Listening to the interview with Chairman Brown is like listening to cats fight. Did my radio accidentally tune into Rush?
Mr. Sherwood. There is nothing more irritating then a so called journalist who asks a question and does not let the person answer it. I don't listen to the radio to hear 1 man being rude to another. If your interviewee has to ask several times for permission to answer the question because you're too busy providing your own commentary into your questions then you're not doing your job.
I have issues with Chairman Brown as well, but Tom Sherwood's interview style is disrespectful badgering and a real turnoff. That whole "people are saying" thing gets very old, and it's not surprising that Mr. Brown gets "irritated" by it. ASK the question, allow the subject to answer, and move on whether you like it or not. If he's not telling the truth, that will become apparent. Sherwood sounds as if he should be working for Fox or the the Inquirer.
Here here!
It is disrepectful to the listening audience to have an interviewer asking questions of the interviewee in the way Mr Sherwood did today. Furthermore its not at all effective. Right now I have no idea what Mr Brown was trying to say. What is going on over there!!!!!!??????????
Is this how public radio responds to the critiques of the republicans??!!! By Becoming Fox News!!!????
You guys are not the news!!!!!! My goodness!! I had to check my dial!!!!
Please Fix this!!!!
