Are there any network TV anchors who do not interrupt their guests?

Question

Most TV network anchors are rude to the people they invite onto their programs. They ask a question, and then don't give the guest time to answer. Are there any anchors who are civil and polite to their guests?

Answer 1

Some are better than others, but you have to understand two things:

1. There are time constraints on most shows, so the host usually is in a hurry.

2. Many guests have their own agenda for appearing, which is different than what the hosts want to talk about. Politicians often fall into this category.

Brian Lamb of C-SPAN is pretty good at this, but he often has an hour.

Answer 2

Try Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC - he rocks the news and does great interviews without interrupting.
