That habit has been in the "Progressive"-backing News Media forever and a day, which frankly, drives this writer mad.
I know that they try to squeeze as much content into a program as possible, and it limits their time for the asking and answering of questions. But the problem with that all along has been too constricting for the Guest, and particularly when the guest is on the other side of the issue.
I've never liked to see it happen, and even the so-called 'converted' pundits that have moved to Fox News on the Right from the previous 'Left', have had the nasty habit of over-talking their guests by that time, and they seem to have a hard time breaking themselves of the habit.
It's rude to the guest, and it's also rude to the viewers watching, because they believe as I do, the host has the desire of presenting a long, 5 pointed question that they know very well, the guest can't possibly answer in it's needed entirety due to the shortage of time allotted to do so. So they proceed to ask the next question due to the shortage of time.
A three-speared problem comes from that manner of exchange; (1) The Host of course, knowing they're the 'Boss' of the program, and also not particularly liking the guest from the other side of the fence, deliberately sets up the time-frame phenomena by taking up most of the allotted time. (2) It lays the time-frame problem on the Guest, whom the Host knows, doesn't have time to answer the 5-story high question. (3) In the attempt to answer it, he or she is over-talked by the Host who doesn't want him or her to adequately answer anyway!
Although totally unexpected, Fox Host Megan Kelly who normally does grant the time, pulled off the same stinkin' stunt with guest and recently announced Candidate for the2016 Presidential run, Rand Paul, last night.
I thought Fox News was a cut-above that sort of nonsense regularly done by the 'Left', but I guess not.
It gives me the impression she's getting a little too big for her shoes. Just sayin'!
