I used to love this show but I can’t watch anymore. Abby constantly interrupts her conservative guests but lets the liberal guests talk over everyone. I would love to find a show with both sides presented equally.
And, I can’t listen to Anna Navarro. She is like a giant open nerve.
Abby is straight up democratic liberal trash. Anti DJT syndrome and has nothing positive to say about America. Scott is the only reason it is surviving. She should join the view, and hate on each other.
I used to love Abby's show with the polite back and forth
But now I can't even hear anyone, especially when the conservative person speaks because they all talk over him or her and interrupt constantly. Let everyone have their complete say and then give your rebuttals
There is minimal control by Abby Phillips. Guests interrupt constantly if someone has a valid point. This show is not worth watching.
Bob, you hit the nail on the head. Her program is a horrible free for all with very little control over those attending a show, particularly some regulars. As far as I am concerned they should put the show on at 2 AM and fill in the 10 PM slot with a quality consistent with CNN.
Her ratings are in free fall. Her ratings are behind both FOX and P
MS NOW
DJ & Richard, I totally agree with you. I have tried and tried to get through an hour of this show with no success. The constant interrupting, talking at the same time and over each other is madness. I too wish there was a smaller panel of qualified quests that had some modicum of respect for each other and the host. Until then I will not be watching this show.
NewsNight host Abby Phillip has a genuinely benevolent personality and a vibrantly alluring presence. Her gentle persistent efforts to maintain control over the discussion are admirable, and regular panelist Scott Jennings rightly praised her supervisory finesse at the end of 2024. But over the last two months, the guests' collective respect for Phillip's role as moderator has deteriorated. Her efforts to restore order to conversations when clashing speakers refuse to be silent now require prolonged effort. Some of the worst offenders are the most frequent guests, including CNN employees. Having up to five contributors to conversations rather than a smaller number invariably contributes to the misconduct of some guests, and the pointlessness of tuning in. Guests such as Elie Honig who have substantial expertise and who provide genuine insight are greatly outnumbered by intellectual mediocrities who merely voice biased opinions.
The program benefits tremendously when knowledgeable experts such as Elie Honig are present.
Whether the solution involves temporary disinvitation or permanent exclusion of specific guests, muting of mics, or much stricter control of speaker order, whichever producer or manager is ultimately responsible for permitting this annoying disorder to persist needs to immediately show some professionalism or be replaced. Newsnight has never been a top source for analysis, but Phillip's unwavering maturity and substantial intellect are enticing. Nonetheless, I will have diminishing respect for her, and definitely no inclination to keep viewing this program, unless more considerate and disciplined conduct at the table is promptly and permanently implemented.
She doesn't even try to be fair anymore. I used to enjoy her show but now all 3 left wing people including Abby just interrupt and talk over the 2 conservative talkers. It's getting to where it's NOT interesting because she's not fair and doesn't ask her left wing people to let the conservative finish a sentence. After everyone says their opinions, then let the others give theirs. It's so boring now that she shows her total bias and thinks she's right on EVERYTHING
I like this this show, but it often happens that two or more of the panelists will speak at the same time, creating auditory chaos.
Oy! In preparation for each show, Abby should establish a rule that panelists can speak ONLY when they're spoken to ---by Abby.
That would fix it! No?
America, if you are not watching Abby Phillips Newsnight on CNN please START! Republicans & Democrats speak on political topics with no HOLDS BARED😊 It is insightful, and intelligent from both parties perspectives. Ms. Phillips is soft spoken, and current on ALL topics discussed! Does her homework! I❤️IT!
I think you hit the nail on the head Abby Phillip is extremely intelligent and highly knowledgeable after all she’s graduated from Harvard she’s fair minded person that’s why she has crazy maga people on the show like that crazy woman who was talking about whom I heard her parents came from Middle East and she want lecture us four hundred years of slavery and Jim Crow and the way she was closing her eyes like she knows anything about slavery.
I love this show my favourite show on television and I’m a pro trump Republican Abby is a little biased but she is mush more fair to the republican cohosts then most liberal tv journalists and they have real Republicans on the show that’s also commendable not like apologists like Alyssa on the view who almost never disagrees with her cohosts this is truly one of the best shows on television today I will be very disappointed when it gets cancelled/
I agreed with you when I first started listening but now it's getting boring because Abby and the left wing nuts talk over and interrupt and attack ATTACK
It's supposed to be a fair " back and forth". BUT now it's a yelling match and so biased they are ONLY there to ATTACK and interrupt
I like Abby a lot but I have to change the channel when I see Scott Jennings. He can not carry on a civil discussion to save his life!!
Scott is actually very articulate and is the only reason I enjoy watching the show.
