  • Best information sharing

    In my mind, Margaret Brennan is one of the best interviewers of the day. She gives the interviewee the opportunity to express their opinions and follows up intelligently. She will correct inaccurate information without turning it into a gotcha moment or an emotional exchange.

    I learn more from this show than any other Sunday morning political show.
