And yet the next moderator might be even more biased for the Democrats. The press doesn’t care much what the public thinks.

On Monday, I wrote that it would be wrong to prejudge CNN host Candy Crowley before she turned in her performance as a debate moderator. On the other hand, Mark Levin, in the first 10 minutes of his first hour yesterday before the debate said of Crowley "Somehow she will screw it up". Mark was right on as usual.

“But, her instincts in the moment led her to chastise Romney because she felt he used the wrong word.”
Which was none of her business. It was Obama’s place to debate for himself, but as one heading from American Thinker stated, she was his teleprompter. It was a disgusting display of partisan and won’t be forgotten for a long time. Don’t know why no one in the media mentions that looked like a set-up.

In what appears to be a bizarre coincidence - in every 'debate' the democrat was given more time - and the Republican was interrupted more.
If an ambassador had been raped and murdered on the anniversary of 9/11 - while Bush was President - and Bush had lied about it - AND sent his people out to lie about it - the first question OF THE DEBATE would have been about that issue.

Other people have pointed this out, but why do Republicans keep agreeing to raging Libs as debate moderators? When has one of these moderates ever done anything other than side with the Dems? Lehrer was about as good as it gets and he was quiet. Conservatives can whine all we want about Candy Crowley but no one is listening and Crowley certainly doesn’t care. She accomplished her mission last night.

I don't think she screwed America (she's not that important) as much as she reinforced what we already knew. Mainstream media is leftist media and will do anything for the leftist agenda. They are pimps for the administration, an insult to true journalism, limited thinkers, tasteless, reckless and have brought news reporting to the lowest level.
Thanks, Candy, for reinforcing my decision to vote Romney and you and yours can KMA.

"Nothing is so mistaken as the supposition, that a person is to extricate himself from a difficulty, by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an injustice. This increases the difficulties ten fold; and those who pursue these methods, get themselves so involved at length, that they can turn no way but their infamy becomes more exposed. It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the worlds believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions." - See "Letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785," in Thomas Jefferson: Writings (New York: The Library of America, 1984), pp. 814-815.". . . he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him." - Jefferson
When a man stands before the world and makes claims which are as easily disproven as those made by the President last night, then, truly, "his infamy becomes more exposed."
The 5-minute Rose Garden statement was on FOX Radio this morning, and it reveals that both Crowley and the President might take Jefferson's warning to heart: "Nothing is so mistaken as the supposition, that a person is to extricate himself from a difficulty, by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an injustice."
American voters saw the "chicanery," the "dissimulation," the "trimming," the "untruth," and the "injustice" attempted by avoiding the real question from the audience, and on November 6, both may see that the President did not "extricate" himself from the "difficulty" of his attempted cover-up of a terrorist attack on his watch.

Even in the vice-presidential debate, the ‘rat was given more time, which might not mean much on its own, but it’s been the case in every one of the debates, amongst other biases.

Just the week prior, ABC reporter Martha Raddatz was preemptively criticized for inviting President Barack Obama to attend her wedding in the 1990s, but she ended up being a straight moderator who advanced the vice presidential debate admirably. Equine feces. In addition to tolerating Biden's constant interruptions of Paul Ryan, Raddatz added 31 of her own. She is, after all, married to an Obama bundler.
Why is it that conservatives feel compelled to offer such undeserved deferencea to outright Marxists in order to appear "even handed and objective"?

True. The flip-side, if people aren't too stupefied to notice it, is that it also gives them more time in which to dig their hole deeper. Problem is, a large portion of the voting public might be that stupefied.
