General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Thom Hartmann spanked a couple of DU'ers today on his show - [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)who could not discuss nor reply to him. He did not respectfully disagree, he disagreed on his show, not here. He also said the clip 'wound up' on DU when it was posted under his own account. Wound up? Placed for promotional reasons, which is fine. It is not fine to pretend the clip 'wound up here' and then he read what was said, serendipity!
His show is great. On his show, he makes much of the fact that he does not hang up on people and then go off on them. If a caller mentions a person who is not there, he says 'I don't discuss people who are not here to speak their part' and such. He always points out that he lets his guest get 'the last word'. Those principles of fairness that make his show stand out were not in practice in this exchange.
Disappointed in him.
