KVIA Needs to Screen Callers
I'm watching the debate between the two candidates in the District 78 race.
Having run debates myself, there is a reason we don't allow people to call-in with questions. The crazies call in and don't know the facts.
But if you are going to let people call in to live television, at least have one someone screen the calls!
Big G, who is a regular caller to talk radio called in and asked an off the wall question that made no sense.
Then the next call was clearly a plant.
That being said, I thought Maria Garcia did a good job stepping in to run a debate that would've normally been hosted by Darren Hunt. Keeping candidates to a strict time limit isn't easy, let me tell ya.
