NEW YORK (AP) - Beneath Bob Schieffer's Southern charm is the tough spine of someone used to dealing with politicians. The moderator of Monday's final presidential debate will need it, because it has been open season on the other journalists who have done that job this campaign.

Thanks to a bitter campaign rivalry, thriving partisan media outlets and the growth of social media, debate moderator is approaching baseball umpire on the scale of thankless jobs.

Someone on FR suggested that they get the NFL to furnish a crew of officials to moderate the debate.

I think that would be cool.

If the moderators actually moderated instead of propping up the Democrat, they’d be applauded.

I remember when Bubba was president, Bob Schieffer actually reported the Lewinsky lewdness by saying that Clinton “Supposedly, reportedly, allegedly” had sexual relations with Monica in the White House...
Then later, Clinton ADMITTED IT
Bob Schieffer is a LIBERAL HACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Debate moderating: a thankless job

I'll thank a debate moderator as soon as one does a good job in an unbiased manner. I've got a feeling that finding such a moderator in the current MSM will be a Diogenes of Sinope-esque undertaking.

You mean “thanks to stupid lying liberal moderators,” David.

Most media fix every debate in favor of liberal hacks.

“...go to the transcript now” said dipshit obama! And his barking bitch just happened to have the transcript in her hand with the “T” word already bookmarked for her!!

If all these debates were all moderated by Conservatives I guarantee the corrupt MSM wouldn’t write the job being thankless. Just another cover story for Liberal, partisan moderators like Crowley and Raddatz.

Thank You Candy eat Crowley for your unprofessional service as a fawning Obama leftist moderator. Like we didn’t know before but thank you for showing your commie colors.

"Yes, it is so hard to signal Obama on what to ask and answer with everyone watching, and sometimes Obama gets the signals wrong and then we have to stop Romney from asking more questions about that subject. Sometimes he has to look at Michelle giving hand signals for the right answer. Candy Crowley

The article (wrongly) states: Beneath Bob Schieffer's Southern charm...

Bob Schieffer may have been born and raised in the South (Texas) but he has never has any of the traits that characterize authentic Southerners:

Like Dan Rather, another native Texan, Bob Schieffer may be from Texas but he's never had any of the traits of the Blessed State. Lyndon Baines Johnson, Dan Rather and Bob Schieffer all had the good fortune of being born and raised here but every one of these repulsive leftists deliberately turned away from the Christian Conservatism values that true Texans unabashedly embrace.

Oh, poor little DAVID BAUDER!

Well Davey, you're gonna have to put on your big boy pants and learn to live with the situation that the Internet Conservatives' influence will continue to grow and Conservative pushback on the leftist Presstitutes will continue to grow.

Oh, and BTW Davey, the Internet Conservatives' guns, full of unlimited ammunition called "truthful fact checking and ridicule", will be targeting you too. And eventually you and your AP nest of American-hating Communists' "power of the press" will be neutralized. Squashed like the cockroaches you are.

Get used to it Davey, we're coming for you, it's only a matter of time.
