Excellent Moderating
I have no idea how she manages to do it and do it all the time; stay on the subject and the substance and avoid looking or appearing impartial even when some of the intelligencia on the panel may want to advance what appears to be partial stand points. Gwen will never go at them like it happens on Meet the Press for example. She will seem to agree with them and in the process cleverly introduce the other perspective. The other day the panel was "roasting Obama" for the so called "scandals" when Gwen seemed to agree from the point of view of the media and the intelligencia. But she asked; "how do the public view it? What are the polls saying?" And the same intelligencia had to start explaining his popularity in spite of "the scandals". You just have to be a genius to provide this kind of moderation. There is so much satisfaction watching Washington week podcasts. I have watched them religiously ever since I discovered them. I dropped meet the press for the combativeness of the moderator who seems to want to convert the interviewees to agree with his point of view. I mean, why invite them if you don't want to listen to their points of view. There is none of that on Washington week podcasts.Read full review »
