The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for September 14, 2023

In talk shows no one talks because everyone screams.

Today’s talk shows aren’t worth listening to.

Best TV show EVER, Queen for a Day! I am sorry, just can’t forget it!

Well, they aren’t called listen shows.

“It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing." Macbeth

Macbeth, Shakespeare.

Brutus nailed it!

My first wife could talk all day but never say anything.

they might as well be talking to the wall… maybe put a picture on it so it would be less awkward. :J

That is why there is an OFF button on the TV

You got that right Brutus .

They aren’t “Talk” Shows, they’re Rant Shows…

What talk show is Brutus referring to. All the ones I watch everyone is engaging in conversation. So, there’s a lot of listening going on there. Actually, their conversation could be considered more of a debate than simple chatting.

Right on Brutus….right on…!

there is probably nothing worth listening to

Brutus, you’re spot on. So don’t waste your time listening to ex-spurts. The weather channel has more accurate news and that’s amazing.

Free discussion and debate of ideas is the cornerstone, not only of Democracy, but of Civilization itself that really can change minds and mold societies. Sadly, people on those “talk” shows just talk to you and true honest debate ends and it just resorts to name calling rather than honest discussions of ideas. Further, on “talk” shows there are the additional problems of time constraints and commercial, which precludes real debate.Brutus IS right. Talk shows are shouting contests, no one is listening, and as such, no one learns and minds cant be changed……

Today with Dave Garroway…

I do miss talk shows like Jack Paar’s where they had real conversations, and not just promos for their work

And I don’t want to hear what they are talking about anyway. Whatever event they are ‘pimping’ – plus I hardly know who these people are – my peers are all dying off or already gone.

It seems every starlet or wannabe has her or his talk show these days. I’ve never heard of them or their guests!

I have never watched it, but I understand, “The View” meets Brutus’ description.

I haven’t ever watched a talk show. I doubt I ever will.

I don’t watch them because most of them are so biased that when someone with opposing views is a guest, they shout them down. If they would engage in civil discourse and present different points of view, I might watch. What really steams me is that these people get paid big bucks to sit there and spew their particular venom.

sorry, were you saying something…?
