Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan (1954– ) User Reviews

Like so many journalistic shows in the US a hit and miss thing

[patrickfilbeck · 5/10 · 19 December 2021]

Face the Nation had sometimes good times, sometimes bad times, sometimes good work-up of topics, sometimes poor showmanship, sometimes good and sympathetic moderators, sometimes weak ones who can't do their craft. A symbol of how difficult it is in a capitalist society to do right and good work with capitalist news programs.

How can you learn if you don't listen?

[sfpitt · 2/10 · 1 March 2020]

The first sign of bias is the refusal to listen. This program is long in interruptions and short on listening. No need to watch unless you like bickering without any positive results. Hey...reasonable people disagree, especially in politics and religion. But asking a question for the sake of pretense and launching your point of view vaguely disguised as the next question when the guest is one sentence into their answer is a reason to ignore this show.

Truth in a nation of uninformed

[middl · 10/10 · 9 August 2020]

Truth scares a lot of people right now as they are duped by "alternative facts" daily. Margaret Brennan doesn't let lies be presented as fact. BRAVO!

Margerette... "B" as in...

To the host... Why have you been told to approach people guilty as charged in every single interview as if it's an interrogation? You're not a FBI agent. You're a bias media host wearing the mask of a reporter.

Today I watched you violently ask the head of the US treasury for specific names of the experts running our countries $$ for Covid relief. Then you had a governor on of a state where you violently pushed the question "do you think the package was enough? Was it enough sir? But was it enough?" ... when while the person receiving the brunt of this BS was responding with "this is the most generous package of all time. Time will tell."

Are people this stupid that they need their "news" in a reality tv style melodrama? This isn't news. This is bias brash interrogative drama. Horrible host.

Solid journalism. A woman doing solid work in a man's profession.

Margaret is great. This isn't the lies and buddy system junk I'm used to on Fox News.

Clearly Politically Biased DO NOT WATCH

[trish-90325 · 1/10 · 26 January 2020]

Have been watching this show for several weeks now. Today is the last time. She is CLEARLY politically biased. Very unprofessional and insanely inappropriate. I'm a seeker of truth and always wanted to know both sides of the argument so that I can make an informed decision. I'm adding her, and her biased tactics to my DO NOT WATCH list along with anything CNN-related

Rude and Perfunctory questioning

[aletadaleyokolicsanyi · 1/10 · 28 May 2023]

I tried watching the interview with Rep Jeffries.

When Brennan wasn't interrupting Jeffries, she was responding with hmm mm and "right" which told me she wasn't listening just waiting to peddle the next both sidesism talking point or sound bite. She was clearly more focused on badgering and achieving her own agenda, treating this very critical issue as some sort of contentious game between both sides. Of course with her probably 6 figures salary, Face the Nation is her personal showcase, and she demonstrates her indifference. There is no evidence of her understanding that this debt ceiling fight is manufactured by the Maga GOP to protect the 1% et al.

Sad

[mxbpkcs · 1/10 · 24 July 2022]

This moderator (Margaret Brennan) interrupts, pushes and accuses her interviewees, leaves a negative taste in my mouth. Her arrogant attitude irritates and I have to focus on good people to tolerate this show or often I turn it off.
