  Knowledge King - Crossfire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Crossfires were first used in World War I, shortly after the invention of the machine gun.
The significance of crossfires is that they rendered useless what had been the most effective weapon of warfare since the Greek phalanx: massed infantry.
Crossfires are limited in application, however, because they require a flat plain for greatest effect.

 Public Forum Debate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Public Forum Debate can be compared to a nationally-televised debate, such as Crossfire in which the debators argue a topic of national importance in terms that a common person would understand.
Crossfire may be used, like cross-examination, to ask revealing questions in an attempt to expose a weakness in the opponents' arguments, but it is often used as a way to further develop and attack arguments through discourse.
After crossfire, the second speaker (the one that has not spoken yet) of the first team gives another four-minute constructive speech in which he or she makes arguments in support of his or her team's side and rebuts arguments made by the other team.

 Crossfire (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crossfire was a current events debate program on CNN.
In January 2005, it was announced that it would be cancelled as a freestanding series, possibly to become a shorter, "gentler" segment of Inside Politics [1].
The show was hosted by two pundits, one of whom was chosen "from the right" and one "from the left," thus purporting to provide both sides of the political spectrum.

The departure last week of the puckish bow-tie enthusiast and "Crossfire" co-host Tucker Carlson from CNN was a surprise to almost no one who keeps abreast of cable news comings and goings.
"Crossfire," with its daily average of 455,000 viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research, is one of CNN's most recognizable franchises.
After all, CNN has for a quarter of a century defined itself as a hard-news network, and "Crossfire's" existence on the schedule for 23 of those years had never been viewed as anathema to the network's identity.

 Finnish Views of CNN Television News: Chapter 8
The "truth or falsity" of claims made on television "is simply not an issue," claims Postman, and the interconnectedness of events and relevance of such things as history or economics are left unclear because of the arduous demands of this particular format.
Crossfire’s "television talk" is designed to be as attractive to living room audiences as a party with friends, and lonely or bored viewers are made to feel as if they were invited to join in the fun.
Television talk and "cued spontaneity," to combine Fowler’s and Primeau’s terms, has been unfavorably contrasted by Postman with what he terms "the typographical mind," which according to his definition was a common and even "natural" state among Americans, one which existed before there was commercial journalism.

 Michael Kinsley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Primarily active in print media as both a writer and editor, he also became known to television audiences as a co-host on Crossfire.
Kinsley also served as editor at Harper's (for a year and a half in the early 1980s), managing editor of Washington Monthly (in the mid-seventies, while still in school), and American Editor of The Economist (a short-term, honorary position, roughly akin to a sabbatical for an academic).
After leaving Crossfire, Kinsley returned to his editorial roots, relocating to Seattle and taking a position with Microsoft as the founding editor of its online journal Slate.

 Science Fair Projects - Tucker Carlson
Tucker Carlson (born May 16, 1969 in San Francisco, California) is a conservative pundit best known as a former co-host for CNN's Crossfire, representing "the right." Distinguished by his moppish hair and colorful bow ties, Carlson is generally considered one of the most recognizable conservative personalities in American television.
Prior to his television career, Carlson was a member of the editorial staff of Policy Review magazine, one the country's leading conservative journals, and a staff writer for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
In October, 2004, Carlson was engaged in an unusually confrontational episode of Crossfire with comedian and television talk show host Jon Stewart of The Daily Show, which was widely circulated through the Internet and commented on throughout the media.

 Finnish Views of CNN: Chapter 8, Concision   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Capable commercial television hosts and their guests, if they are to succeed in the highly competitive world of the commercial media, must also learn to adapt their style of discourse to the advertising environment.
To accomplish this purpose, commercial television’s writers and producers use various discourse strategies, including content arrangement, inclusion of sensational remarks, music, banter or some personal exchange between a news anchor and the weatherman, to emphasize the familiarity of the situation or to establish a certain "feeling" or a certain point of view for the audience.
In the case of Crossfire, the lack of a chairperson, and the relative freedom of guests to speak up at any time, makes the talk into conversation, as if it were an informal discussion at home around the kitchen table or in your living room, among friends and family.
