Sunday political programs invite viewers to hear politicians' rationale for public policy, alongside their rationale for the political behavior of their party. Instead of creating a forum in which that can be featured, most political shows create a forum for listening to sound bite sized talking points, which likely were written for them. Would you prefer seeing politicians in a face-to-face format, where they are challenged and made to answer each others' allegations?

YES. A one-on-one, informal smash-mouth political argument would reveal more about a politicians' character, as well as the strength of his party's positions, and the defense of his party's behavior. Let them challenge each other's statements, and the truth thereof.
NO. I prefer the existing formats.
