Then contact CNN and let them know you fully agree.
I took that opportunity as soon as I finished reading the transcripts. I thought the hosts' treatment of Mr. Stewart was abominable. They refused to let him make his point or defend his charges. They seemed embarrassed by what he was saying, as if his charges were too close to the mark. This transcript said a LOT to me about the smallness of the hosts' characters.
I especially liked Mr. Stewart's reaction to Carlson's lame attempt at insult: "You need to get a job at a journalism school, I think." when he replied, "You need to go to one." It's clear to me that Crossfire is NOT journalism. It is theater, pure and simple. What does their rude, insulting, "don't-let-you-finish-a-thought" technique tell me about how a politician will behave in office or what his viewpoints are? How stupid. CNN should have the wisdom and courage to cancel the show, or at least dramatically alter its format. I agree with Mr. Stewart that the show only harms America and our political process.
