Parts of "Nightside Project" were fine; the thing that put me off most 
was when they called some expert, ostensibly to talk about a news story, 
but wasted his time by playing dumb over the phone.   If I were to do 
that to someone, it would be considered an "annoyance call".   If the 
news department ever calls this expert up, they're going to have to 
start by apologizing for the behavior of the talk-show guys.
