f there was a loser on the debate stage tonight, it was CBS. First, they scheduled their debate on a Saturday night between two major football games. Then they decide to only broadcast the first hour of their 90-minute debate. Then their Internet feed failed for the final 30 minutes. This was CBS’s first and only debate — and it showed.
Scott Pelley was a terrible moderator. He treated the men who might be the next commander in chief like schoolchildren, cutting them off in mid-sentence, lecturing them to answer his questions. He even lectured Newt Gingrich on policy, telling him that killing “terrorist suspects” is “not the rule of law.” Big mistake. Newt smacked him down, explaining that we are at war and in war we are allowed to kill the enemy without a court order.

Bears repeating....and may I add....drawn, quartered, burned, then punished.
“Newt was stellar as always. I’m very unhappy that I missed most of the last half hour thanks to cBS’s screwed up LIVE feed.”
Couldn’t agree more. Wonder how he would do with a serious full court press, 50 state campaign, baiting Zro all te way? I would love to see that.
I enjoyed seeing Scott's smug grin disappear as Newt slapped him down.
Once again SEE-BS confirms what a joke of a network it is.
lol!
Agreed, CBS was tonight’s Big Loser
Tiffany Network=LazyBS
Internet streamed Like 1999
The sound you hear is the Death Knell of the MSM...good riddance!
Edward R. Murrow is rolling over in his grave, and somehow perky Katie Couric failed to bury CBS Evening News during her tenure, but the Low Rent Bean Counters in charge now have tossed the first few shovelfulls of dirt on the casket.
MSM, when you find yourself in a hole...
Keep Digging!
“I don’t understand why the Stupid Party allows their enemies to run and control their debates in the first place.”
I have been asking that question for several election cycles.
When are our Presidential candidates gonna say “Wait a minute! Anderson Cooper and the network he works for have a track record of anti-GOP bias. Why are we allowing him to host a debate?”
This is beyond sickening.
Why would anyone want to watch CBS denigrate GOP candidates for office when there are some very good football games to watch?
that village idiot is going to appear with Rachel Maddow at Ball State University (His alma mater)...can you imaging the intellectual level of that pair??????????
Most country's on earth there wouldn't be a CBS anymore.
There was a debate tonight?
We need to stop letting the left run our debates!!
The candidates need to stop participating.
This needs to be sent to the CBS News Cretin who mouthed no to Gingrich regarding the whacking of Al-Alwaki.
“.....
Martin James Monti, Peter Delaney, the SS-Standarte Kurt Eggers are Americans who are known to have fought for the Germans in World War II in the Waffen-SS or any other units. There are German records of five Americans fighting in the Waffen-SS in May 1940, American records of Monti's treason case, and also records of eight American soldiers killed during their service to the Germany. ...”
So its been done before !
Now if they want to argue about a need for declaration of war in the “War on Terror” I somewhat agree. Though functionally when Bush was voted authorization it was a declaration of war. I would have proffered one that actually used those terms. Counter argument was how do you declare war on non-state entities, my retort to that was Washington is full of wordsmith lawyers who could generate the right prose, they should Gav done it!
CBS has the only good drama of the three networks: Tom Selleck’s ‘’Blue Bloods’’ at 10 p.m. Eastern on Friday.
Excellent choice!
