6. Whether Rove drafts the questions or not
He or someone like him certainly gets a heads-up on what topics and guests will appear in advance (apparently in more detail than what might be available at the c-span website), because talking points are quite obviously disseminated to the "supports the President" callers before the show.

Two other issues:

The basic premise of taking one caller from one side and one from the other is unfair when only 30-40% of the population supports the president.

The WJ hosts are either unwilling or grossly unprepared to correct callers, even when they make the most outrageous lies. 'Course, this is problem with talking heads all over the so-called news cable networks.
