I have constantly been amazed at your ability to cut through side issues proposed by others - whether talking heads or guests - and return a topic to its core issues. That seems to be at the root of why I always enjoy hearing your views - on Washington Week in review - even when you are not the interviewer. Many times a host - mostly on 'commercial' stations but even here on PBS -will seem to shout over guests. I hate that and watch such shows less as a result. I will not name names or programs in this paragraph. But I wonder at the blurring of that as a distinction between PBS and 'commercial' stations. It seems that some stations believed they found a growth model through that as an emphasized 'mode of operation.' Do you think that some the "shout fests" that distract viewers from core issues are beginning to enjoy an insidious growth here on PBS?
