  • Awful

    Welker is one of the worst on air interviewers EVER.

  • What Happened? Welker turned bobble head.

    I’m a long time fan of this show and truly have admired Welker for her elegance, intellect and journalism. Lately, however, I’m not sure how much longer I can watch. She asks great questions but after she delivers it with power, there is no push back or questioning. She then allows her guest to say absurd statements and there is just plain nodding on her part. At this point, just place a doll in front of the interviewee.. save some money as all she does now is nod in agreement.

You have Starting the show each week with somebody who is just going to tell us lies for 15 minutes. It is frustrating and, quite frankly, a turn off. I’m getting close to the point where I just can’t watch the show anymore because of the platform it gives for propaganda and lying. I know you know these people are telling lies and yet you continue to support it. Please get back to bei... more
