horrible show. its always one side trying to muddy up the comments enough so they don't have to admit the other side has a point.

"(uh-oh, thats a good point, to which I have no response... I'd better make a sweeping generalization that incorrectly characterizes his position, so that viewers will to some degree associate his good point with something they disagree with, and so that he must then reiterate his real position while I yell over him...)"

Watch Charlie Rose! He is the lone voice of entertaining and enlightening socio-political discourse on television.

Let's face it, this video is meaningless, but Charlie Rose is a licensed P-I-M-P.

Charlie Rose is kidding himself, Carl Sagan was one of the wisest men ever.

Its always nice to see Carl, I think for many of us who read his books, its not too much of a stretch to say that he changed our lives. There's no going back to the cowering fear and confusing darkness of an unenlightened, superstition imbued life after learning how to think skeptically from him. He was simultaneously incandescently brilliant and deeply poetic, an extreme rarity. The planet is impoverished greatly for his loss. That said, its a shame this interview is essentially totally wasted on Charlie Rose. Nearly all his questions are frustratingly (even embarrasingly) childish and trite. It's painfully obvious he doesn't get it even by the end of the interview, "faith, Carl, faith". Whatever Charlie.

It's sad when Charlie Rose is smarter than Carl Sagan.

Oh Charlie Rose you forced him to tell the truth. I have so much respect for him and now its only multiplying.

sweet more charlie rose fans

hurray another charlie rose fan

Why is it that Charlie Rose can spend 1 hour and explain a topic usually in a highly informative way, with decent questions and the right guests then leaving you with more information than 24 hours worth of CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, etc. How is it acceptable that the remainder just pump out pablum with a mix of pedestrian insight that could be gained by asking "what if" to a 5 year old.

John Burns is a regular guest on the Charlie Rose show. You can tell by his hair how the war is going---the hair and beard looked like a hot mess when he was on the show a few weeks ago.

A warning to Repubs in the group: Burns does work for the NYT so you should probably refuse to listen to him lest you get indoctrinated by liberofascism.

I thought you had to pay to watch charlie rose on google video.

In the first hour of Wednesday's 8-23 Situation Room, CNN apparentlythought it had a phoner with Wendy Hutchens, a woman "who claims that five years ago she had detailed chats about the death of JonBenet Ramsey" with John Mark Karr.
"...he was instructed to kill JonBenet by Howard Stern"
The caller was a "notorious prank caller" named Thomas Cipriano. He says: "I've been doing this for 20 years! You'd think they'd be on to me by now..."

The clip is much longer than necessary, but the exchange with the "crack" [sic] caller is at the beginning.
On a personal note, I watched the entire clip because I rarely am exposed to CNN and always find it visually fascinating. The graphics get more sophisticated, ...and it's slightly distracting to those unaccustomed to it. There is never a moment without considerable motion on the screen, even when the talking head is just taking. It's a way of helping the short attention-spanners keep their eyes on the tube. (Charlie Rose, with conversants sitting at a table, the background a uniform black void, is the antithesis of the ever-waving background of CNN; with Rose, you're on your own to supply the attention and brain activity to maintain focus on the conversation. my $.02

YouTube co-founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen join Charlie Rose to discuss the rise of YouTube and the future of the company. This is a five-minute preview of a longer conversation that will air Friday, August 11th, on "Charlie Rose".
