One Party at a time Please!!

 When RTE is interviewing or questioning Political guests they inevitably make the mistake of including members of rival parties.  This leads to a muddying  of the issues due to constant 
Haranguing and abusive interruptions of the person answering the question.  
  This pattern of news reporting is damaging to the whole country and to the program interviewers Like Prime Time, Vincent Brown and the nightly news, as the moderator is forced into the same pattern of abuse by having to constantly bring the offender to order, at which point they have already interrupted and distorted the point the speaker was making.   This makes the Irish look like Ill-mannered Louts who don't even know how to debate in a clear and thoughtful way.  It is a real disservice to the Irish Nation.
    Why not have a policy whereby only one Political Party is interviewed at a time allowing them to state what it is they are saying without the haranguing of Opposing Parties.
The last thing We need is a cross Party Public Debate  whether it be 3 or six Parties on the panel. 
A good example of this is Vincent Brown with Joan Bruton, How did such a fish wife ever get elected in the first place!    Vincent why expose yourself to this kind of abuse when it is clearly better to question one Party at a time.   
 Oh and the nightly newscaster has a bad habit of interrupting the person he is questioning and he looks just as bad when he does as Joanie baby.  Pat Kenny is also guilty of this.
