crossfire

One of the first things I noticed when I was watching the cross fire clip with Jon Stewart is that the guy in the bow tie was very bias toward what he thought. He thought that everything he believed in was correct, that only his opinion could be right. But why invite someone to your show to just yell and argue with them? Whats the point of that? I also noticed that he kept contradicting himself. He told Jon Stewart that he liked him as a person, but then would say things that implied otherwise.  By doing these things the "bow tie guy" shows ignorance. I think this stuff matters because crossfire is supposed to be a show of exploring peoples opinion and thoughts, and then considering and thinking about them, to understand all views so that one can come up with their own enlightened view. Jon Stewart stayed calm  and collective, he didn't seem to argue with his emotions. He was logical and even made some jokes, which was important because none of the other guys were. This crossfire clip shows us that when you know what you are talking about you say things in a whole different way. I mean why would you need to yell and criticize some one to get your point across.
