This is in The Washington Post, of all places.

The media is utterly TERRIFIED of what Newt could do to Obama in a debate....

He must be destroyed, at all costs.

No, it’s not Newt that they are terrified of, it’s the T-Party supporters.

Self-respecting debate organizers, starting with CNN, should take Gingrich’s statement as evidence that they should do the opposite of what the former speaker wan

They are’t going to be able to silence the ones they want to silence now.

But...being CNN...the place will probably be packed with the “right kind” of people.

Please, no evidence of voter support for conservative ideas...

Is CNN going to shut up the Obama audience too?

So Gingrich has apparently concluded that the unaided force of his own ideas and rhetoric aren’t enough. He needs the hooting, the hollering, the booing — a hysterical mob

I'm wondering if this co-called journalist offered the same suggestion for obama regarding the SOTU earlier in the week.

Why even have an audience, then? Does anybody remember the democrat debates from four years ago? Were there similar audience admonitions then?

I completely expect this from the Washington Post. It goes beyond Newt. The Washington Post wants left wing moderators to have more control over debates.

Another FReeper said the debate is being stacked with Romney supporters.

Since I got out of the U.S.Army I do not take orders too well.
Fact is if you tell me to do something I usually do exactly the opposite.
Tell CNN folks where to get off.

They think freedom of speech and expression only applies to them....!

Not sure but think Reagan used audience. “There he goes again” and something about his opponents age, that Reagan wasn’t going to hit him on his inexperience.

Anyway, seem to remember clips where it showed audience reactions.
