1. Sean Hannity with Christopher Hitchens

Comment #54859 by didhereallysay on July 9, 2007 at 6:43 am

Hitch was right from the getgo. Hannity lied, there's no possible way he could have heard "all the arguments" against faith already if he thought the complexity argument had any type of strength at all.

I have no problem with interviewers being dumb (a lot of them are) and their guests showing them up, but I have a burning anger towards interviewers who will not innovate or change up the line of questioning any. Nearly every interview with Dawkins and Hitchens has been about, "you're an atheist. What's your problem with god? Can't you see a lot of people think there is one? Doesn't religion help instead of hurt? Why are you angry?"

COME ON... Talk within the 40 yard lines gets nobody anywhere and cuts off all intellectual discussion.

2. Does God Exist? The Nightline Face-Off

Comfort and Cameron definitely got the majority of the face time. The editing was definitely geared toward them as well. I have a feeling Nightline would lose a ton of viewers if they made it more geared towards the atheists. We are, of course, one of the most hated groups in America. It's logical that a major news company would steer away from controversy (God isn't) and towards a larger audience with the least controversy (God is). They need viewers, and obviously the vast majority of the viewing public is not intellectually inclined.
