"Question Time is never rigged,"
Moot point Muskie.
The questions are submitted beforehand and sometimes the programme is 'sanitised' by careful selection I understand.
Also, as I understand it, it operates a '20 second' system, whereby the technicians are able to edit or exclude offensive, liable or maybe 'controversial' contributions before the signal is actually transmitted.
One of the reasons I ceased to be a devoted follower is the infuriating way in which the chairman insists on interrupting with his own opinions - he never used to, way back.
I never watched the Irish counterpart of the programme for exactly the same reason, only here it was far worse - no longer with us.
