ad infinitum, on their screw-ball ideas without bringing up any questions of their hare-brained propositions.

The last couple years he's been repeatedly implying in his questions of EVERYBODY who comes on the show, that Obama has shown a "failure of leadership"... this is straight out of the GOP propoganda mill. There is much more that i could site but, really it's kindof a pain to do-so.

He specializes in the insinuating questions which require the answerer to accept an implied premise to the question. Most people don't want to come on a show and get into a verbal wrestling match with the host and let his gamesmanship slide. They go ahead and answer the way the see it.

He had David Axlerod on recently, and tried that with him and Axlerod said: "Well, I don't accept the premise of your statement." Rose came back quickly: "that wasn't a statement, it was question." Axlerod said: "Well, there was an implied premise to your question".. finally Rose conceded, with sortof a grone, that Axlerod was right.


That's the first time I've ever seen a guest on his show do that. The guest on a show isn't about to get 'into it' with the host of the show (most people don't want to get into a contretemps before the cameras).
