Talk show hosts and religion

I can't stand when you are watching a show or listening to a talk show and the host
just goes completely off on the other person. Yes, that other person may have a
different view than the host, but that's what is great about conversation is back and
forth flow of different ideas. I was listening to this talk show about a Muslim man
defending Islam. The host was being so irrational to the point that he wouldn't even
let the other man speak. One of the hosts reason for hating Islams and considering
it a cult was due to what has been seen on the news. Here's a question. Don't people
realize that news show are just another television show that needs ratings and they
pick and choose what they consider to be news. Anyway, I digress, my original ranting
was on the fact that all religions have fanatics and have zealots. You can't always
judge a religion on a few assholes that don't correctly represent what a religion was
supposed to be for.
