We all love the Charlie Rose show for its consistent presentation of timely topics and engaging, intelligent guests. But, as yesterday's dreadful interview with Richard Holbrooke demonstrates, Charlie continues to sabotage his own program by stubbornly hanging on to his maddeningly bad interviewing habits: interrupting guests just as they are about to say something very interesting or central to the discussion, talking as much or more than his guests and skewing objectivity by constantly defending the Bush Administration and/or conservative viewpoints. His futile ranting during last night's interview took up so much airtime that there was no chance of discussing a key Holbrooke theme, Kosovo. The interview was reminiscent of the infamously botched Noam Chomsky interview of a few years ago.

Charlie -- I couldn't wait to get to Richard Holbrooke even thought I love Ken Auletta! Imagine my chagrin when this brilliant man was not allowed to finish a single sentence. I thought you had learned years ago not to constantly interrupt your guests at the most riveting point!I suggest to PBS that they schedule Holbrooke with Bill Moyers because I really want to HEAR what Holbrooke has to say!

Charlie,
You are normally outstanding in conversing with your guests, but I was extremely disappointed with your interventionist attitude toward Richard Holbrooke. You would frequently interfere with his way of answering your questions. You seemed far too "worked up". The "conversation" was not enjoyable, and not very helpful. You needed to let him finish his thoughts much more, and then follow up if you really needed more specifics.
