What Jon Stewart doesn’t mention in the clip is that Question Time is a regular weekly BBC programme (though normally a panel discussion; the episode here was a one-off).
There’s nothing quite like it in the States. Sure, America has C-SPAN — but that’s still politicians talking at the public, not with them.
