G+_David Pick Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 My resons to belive Leo Laporte new strategy is to poopoo products (ipad mini example) and then say "i was wrong" , also he shows his age when commenting like my grandpa, ( +Sara my grandma) , i know thats his roll, and what TWIT is good, but just saying...

G+_Marc Kline Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Well, it doesn't bother me if Leo is cynical at times or if I disagree with him... especially not when there is someone else on the show with him speaking my mind for me, and that's often the case. At least he will admit when he's wrong, and after all, TWiT isn't advertised as a "fair and balanced" network. That would either be false or boring. I enjoy Leo's punditry, sometimes especially when it is kind of grumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Martin Rojas Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I enjoy Leo Laporte as a tech pundit and have been listening to him since he started Twit, but I have been noticing recently if you listen to multiple podcast that for example: he will bring up questions about some new product in Twit that were clearly explain to him by Paul or Steve a few days earlier in their podcast. Causing Twit to go into speculation for over 15 minutes in speculations over something that he had heard a clear answer in one of his podcast.

G+_Marc Kline Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I have noticed that too, but I've always chalked that up to him playing a role to pose the question anew, in order to get another fresh perspective (ie. instead of saying, "Well, Steve Gibson told me this... what do you think?".

G+_Matt Lyons Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Martin Rojas Not everyone listens to Security Now or those other broadcasts. It's called being a good host, he's brought on the panel members to get their opinions and that's what he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_A.J. Bobo Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Tech conversations are boring if everyone agrees all the time. There needs to be a devil's advocate sometimes. I hope that's what Leo is doing with Google Glass. He's just voicing concerns that most of us have deep down no matter how excited we are for the product.
