All they do is yell at each other; there is no actual debate. They are so unproductive and uninformative. Isabel: Yeah, I know what you mean. It seems like their only purpose is to see who can yell inside-the-Beltway jargon louder. Dave: I really wish there were a channel that actually fostered legitimate debate and discussion. I find this kind of media very unappealing. Isabel: I agree. The hosts and the commentators all seem so immature and irresponsible. Dave: Exactly, and they have the nerve to call their channel "Impartial and Even." Isabel: What a joke! Dave: More like "Partial and Uneven." Isabel: What about the channel that brands itself as "NNC = Politics?" Dave: Haha, more like "NNC = Terrible." Isabel: Well, at least C-SPAN is pretty fair. Dave: Yeah, if you can stay awake! It's so uninteresting sometimes. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101! Don't forget to stop by EnglishClass101.com for more great English Language Learning Resources!
