I saw Walt on Bill's show. Whoever writes the captions underneath the guests needs a history lesson. Whoever it was wrote that "Cunningham Flew The Apollo 7 Shuttle".Smart. |

I saw the show also. Sure would have been nice if Bill would have given Walt more time,.... say the amount of time he gave Greta. |

Might have even been nicer had he let him answer a question fully before cutting him off to ask another. For Pete's sake, the man was THERE in the 'old days' and knows a little something about 'rising from the ashes' of a tragedy.

Saw Walt being interviewed by Bill, also, and even though I like Bill (overall), I have to agree with Rick and "Hawkman" on what they said in their prior posts. Walt needed more time and wasn't able to finish a complete sentence. Cunningham also did a syndicted article for nationwide newspapers about the 107/Columbia investigation review that was printed on the 27th. |

Agreed, it was terrible how Walt could not finish a sentence. The time allow for him and the way the host treated Walt was insulting. If I had been Walt I would have not been happy about it. MSNBC had Buzz Aldrin on the same evening and did a respectable job interviewing him. |

Sorry I missed the interview. I can't believe that Bill O'Reilly would cut off someone in the middle of them trying to answer a question!!! I'm sure the interview was "Fair and Balanced". (Guess I will be sued by FOX now for using their trademarked "Fair and Balanced")Leon [This message has been edited by Leon Ford (edited August 29, 2003).] |

I don't mind Bill O'Reilly cutting people off in mid-sentence if they are just in 'spin' mode or doing a deer-in-the-headlights recitation of talking points but this was not the case. Walt is a great resource and I would have picked his mind clean! :-) |
