A show like this is meant for debate and although Kevin was rude, he didn't control the interview by any means. I don't really see a problem with this (and I am a left-wing nutbar).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-20919976298247954982011-10-11T04:32:18.696-07:002011-10-11T04:32:18.696-07:00I consider this a VERY refreshing exchange and tha...I consider this a VERY refreshing exchange and thank you for posting the transcript w/video so it can be considered as clearly as possible. <br /><br />I think it's refreshing because when O'Leary stepped (WAY) out of line as a journalist, Hedges called him out and they did return to a much more civil discourse. These are emotional issues and we're going to have to remember how to talk about such things if we're going to make any positive changes.Diane Stresinghttp://www.dianestresing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-27989056334440599332011-10-10T19:19:30.290-07:002011-10-10T19:19:30.290-07:00Thank you Alison.
