As you might know, I get a great deal of video from Breit Bart’s Video Website. I also am signed up for his RSS feeds. I happen come across a video of a debate between John Ziegler and Nate Silver.
Here is the video of this most interesting back and forth:
Okay, here’s my impressions. First off John Zeigler’s phone audio was way much louder than Nate Silver’s. Which made hearing Nate harder. You would think an organization like Breit Bart TV would know how to use a computer EQ system or have a mixing board to evenly regulate sound from the Telephone.
Second of all, Zeigler comes off sounding like a arrogant prick, kinda like some smart assed drunk in a bar, that I once had to punch in the face — long story there. I can understand Zeigler not agreeing with Silver’s political idology, but to take a condescending tone with someone like that, is just totally unprofessional. I must say Nate Silver handled himself very well. If that would have been me, I would told Zeigler to go get bent and if he had a problem with it, I would have invited him to meet me somewhere and he would be needing some dental work, when I got done with him. 😡
Not only this, I do not buy the claim that he cannot release the unedited footage and make it available on the internet. He chooses not to.
More importantly is this. Honestly, who gives two flips about polls, really! I mean the election is over. Obama going to be President, Conservatives like Zeigler need to just accept it and move on.
For what it is worth; no, I do not buy that Breit Bart is neutral and that the Z-Cast is A-Political. They’re a Conservative website. Which promotes and portals videos to a particular audience.
Update: Yes, I know, the video auto plays. I checked the code, there is no way to change that. It’s lame, it sucks, but I can’t fix it. Sorry. 🙁
