When are you guys going to cancel this freakin' show? Everytime I *try* to watch it, I get the feeling that it's *THESE* guys/gals opinions that they're putting forth, like THEY'RE trying to shape policy. WTF?! I hate this show! Give the money to "Nova" and to "Frontline"! Please!

Now that rings a bell.

Is it exposure or advertising?

Good question, though not so well stated.

Are you calling Gwen Ifill and this *Web Exclusive* for being gatekeepers? Which is to say that this show fulfills a need for someone to frame questions in a manner that keeps reputable answers within a subset of possible answers thus denying some reasonable answers exposure.

In that case I'd have to agree.

I'm not sure what U mean or R asking, but what I was referring to is the show that goes on the air, not this web exclusive. I just find the panel very annoying, frustrating & insufferable 2 take for very long. They're acting more as pundits rather than journalists, expressing their opinions way too much on what Washington is doing. I used 2 like the show when Paul Duke was the moderator. I wonder if he's still alive. Now with Gwen Ifell as moderator the show really sucks & I stopped watching it.
