(82,849 posts)How often does Tim Carney (or any other spokesperson for that matter) go on a program with a prior arrangement to talk about topics A, B and C, and then hijack the conversation to go somewhere else? Carney was clearly trying to avoid talking about the subjects he had agreed to go on to talk about, and Hall wasn't having any part of it. But I wonder how many times someone like Carney is successful in diverting the interview into a whole 'nother channel and the host just sits there?
If my observation of certain talking chuckleheads yields any clue, I'd say it happens every time a spokesperson comes on, talks over the host, and then hits all the points he wanted to while the host sits there mute, finally blathering some crapulous pleasantry when the time for the segment is up, and none of the previously-agreed topics ever got aired. You see that often enough, that it's astonishing to see Hall shut Carney down, and end the segment without letting him re-direct the conversation.
