I am increasingly frustrated with the sales pitches on all the "talk" shows now. Why is it necessary to sell things on these programs? We have QVC and HSN for that. Sometimes the interviews are cut short because they have to sell something. It is bad enough when they constantly cut to commercials that last forever. The content of these shows is becoming less and less. Some of the guests they interview only get a couple minutes and just when it is getting interesting, they are cut off. There would be more time for the guests if the constant selling of stuff would end.
