Why does CNN Erin Burnett let Tim Murtaugh spew his lies and bullshit

[still_one]

when he won't even answer her question where is trump's healthcare plan, and every other fucking question

She is just letting him spew anti-Biden propaganda

She should just shut the fucker off

What inept interviewer

This isn't an interview, it is just letting a trump asshole spew anti-Biden lies

Disgraceful

[OneBlueDotBama]

1. No kidding....

Brianna Keilar has & will continue to tear little Timmy to shreds.

Brianna has a few trophies on her wall, Kayleigh is her fav I hear.

[TreasonousBastard]

6. She is good at it. Its a fine art.

[still_one]

7. i agree on that with regard to Brianna Kellar

[rso]

2. Erin Burnett

Indeed, she was horrible tonight. I was surprised because she is normally much more aggressive in calling out Trump’s BS. She seemed too tired to push back forcefully.

[still_one]

18. He talked over her, and would even let her ask a question because he was so

busy talking over her and spewing anti-Biden propaganda

29. I'm No Doctor But...

I get the feeling she's been battling depression. Maybe since she became a Mom. There are nights where she looks like she's "been through it" and those nights are not usually great.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. I'll tell you why.

Back when Nixon was shitting all over the constitution and America, someone on the right started a lie that the media and journalists were all liberals.

Well, it wasnt a lie really....Liberal means mature, intelligent, open minded and worldly. All things you are likely to be if you are a journalist.

So the media under pressure from righty had to treat righty with kit gloves and ATTACK libs and dems and they still do, or they are called liberal.

It is all so stupid and a big reason why we are not likely to survive.

4. Simply because if she could cut the mike of someone I despise, she could cut the mike...

of someone I like.

It's the interviewer's job to ask the questions, not judge the answers.

It's our job to judge the answers.

[brush]

10. Nah, it's the interviewer's job to ask follow-up and clarifying...

questions to reach the truth. It's never their job to let people lie.

[TreasonousBastard]

14. Where did you get your journalism degree?

[brush]

16. My whole career was with newspapers and magazines in NYC.

How about yours?

[TreasonousBastard]

24. Never did it for a living, but have been on air and a have a few clips. Enough to know...

print isn't at all like live interviewing. No edits, no calls back for clarification, and the gishgallop is deadly on air.

And-- if you're having a bad day, no rewrites to cover it up.

[brush]

26. But good journalism is always about seeking the truth/facts.

[TreasonousBastard]

28. Supposed to. I took a class by a retired editor of the NY Post --the old Dolly Schiff Post, not

the Murdoch Post. He shocked us when he insisted that all media was biased-- you just chose your bias. And choose your "truth".

Remember the scene in "His Girl Friday" when the press crew waiting for the execution gets word from the Governor? It's hilarious the way each one spins the story. I don't remember if that was in Ben Hecht's original story, but it was as real as it gets.

Howard Hawkes knows...

[Yeehah]

27. "Never did it for a living"

That's a good thing.

[still_one]

13. he wouldn't let her get a word in edgewise, and it ended up being

just a trump campaign speech

She couldn't ask a question because the jackass wouldn't let her

Did you see that poor excuse for an interview?

He wouldn't let her talk. This has nothing to do with disagreeable answers, this was a complete loss of control of the interview

She didn't do her job

[TreasonousBastard]

17. I didn't see it, but I assume he gishgalloped her. The gishgallop is something that's...

extremely difficult to control-- I really wish more knew how.

I think once I saw Dana Bash threaten to shut off the mike, but it is rare.

[Nat from Oz]

5. Still one

Lol
I know I just threw the remote at the tv.

[brush]

8. Unfortunately not all of cable news show host are in Maddow's,...

Keillar's, McDonnell's and Reid's class. Some get there sometimes. I can't stand the ones who just let repugs spew their talking points.

[ooky]

20. My question is why even invite them when you know they are going

to spew lies? Unless lie spewing is the objective.

[brush]

23. Yeah, right. I wonder if some have more pull with their bookers...

than others?

[radius777]

25. Bingo. That's the problem in the first place.

When they book these people they know what they're going to get.

I avoid shows like Burnett's because she often has on Trumpers who yell over her and take control of the conversation.

The proper way to do it is like Dana Bash did a two Sundays or so ago. Ron Johnson was on spewing his lies but the chyrons 'fact checked' as he spewed. She kept jumping in and hitting him. He eventually seemed out of breath and defeated.

[Joinfortmill]

9. People still watch her?

[Trumpocalypse]

11. I know some people who know

and have worked with her. They all say she’s an airhead and is good at faking it.

[TreasonousBastard]

12. One more thought. TV news hosts don't just wave a magic wand and get Trumpons on...

While there are always a few chomping at the bit to get air time, once you get a reputation as an attack dog it's not so easy to book interviewees any more.

[still_one]

15. When someone won't even let someone ask a question and talk over the interviewer when

she tries to ask a question, that's on the interviewer

[Bev54]

19. Well why do they even want to put them on if all they

are going to do is lie and talk over the host. This is a CNN problem, they do it all the time. It is tiring.

[ooky]

21. Not just a CNN problem. Ever seen Hugh Hewitt on

Chuck Todd's shows?

[Bev54]

22. At least Hewitt lost his own show, I often wondered

if they had a contract with him that they have to give him some air time??? Not sure but other than Ari Melber, who is lousy at arguing with Trumpers, they just don't come back on MSNBC. I haven't watched Todd for a long time, as far as I am concerned he is one of them.
