There were two obvious problems with the show, the first being that each person had their own agenda and their own talking points which they talked about instead of answering the questions.
Putting Michael Moore next to David Frum was provocative.

The second is that the audience seemed to be cherrypicked to represent the most strident and least civilized Americans.

A similar show on Canadian TV a few days before was much more civilized.

Tne Columbian lady, I thought was making some good points about the electoral process and how the US has been perceived and perceived its self since the Florida debacle.
