Earlier I read this from MM’s site. Good stuff bump.

What gets me is why these candidates agree to this.

In arbitration hearings, one of the biggest negotiating points for attorneys is the obvious - the arbitrator. Union attorneys don't want business sympathizers and corporate counsel doesn't want a Jimmy Hoffa clone.

Raddatz? Crowley? Schieffer? Are you nuts?

I don’t watch the debates on purpose because they just make me mad.

From all accounts tho, Crowley must have set a record for obvious bias. I guess the Republicans are just plain used to being screwed and just go along.

Bob Skeletor will be his imperious harrumphy now-see-here-Governor-Romney worst at tonight’s Obama Revivalation.

Mitt needs to smile, keep his cool, and just refuse to acknowledge the moral superiority double-teaming that has been planned.

I never really have understood why Republicans put up with the moderator choices. During the debates for the general, the choices should at least be neutral, and in the Republican primaries, when everyone watching is to the right of the LSM, they should be downright conservative. I can’t see why Republicans think they have to accept whatever agenda-driven socialist is offered up, certainly in the general but especially in the primaries.

I DETEST Schieffer ... and Obama. As much as I want to hear how Romney handles things, I don’t think I can bear to watch tonight. I know a couple of other people (will vote Romney) who are bailing on this last debate .... same reasons - don’t want to hear Obama lie and Schieffer enable/support/spin Left for Obama and watch Romney cut off, shorted on time, sabotaged, etc. It’s all just quite disgusting.

Whoever agreed to him as a moderator in the GOP, should be held responsible. I’m sick of these idiots.

A very telling and informative post. Mr Schieffer may be pondering his stance at this very moment. One, if he is that biased and one sided, it could be seized on as yet another put up job. Two, if he endeavors to be fair, it may hamper his man, who absolutely needs this one to win. Yes, Mr Shieffer is not in a comfortable position.

Always remember his ethics when he drove a distressed and distraught Lee Harvey Oswald's mother to Dallas. Her son accused of murdering the then president. He later has stated "I always wore a snap brim hat to look like a detective". He posed as one, to get the jump on the competition.

He could consider this interview as his "masterpiece" and then retire. Time will tell.

Days before his announced retirement from regular news coverage, Brinkley made a rare on-air mistake during evening coverage of the 1996 presidential election, at a moment when he thought they were on commercial break. One of his colleagues asked him what he thought of Bill Clinton's re-election. He called Clinton "a boor" and added, "The next four years will be filled with pretty words, and pretty music, and a lot of goddamn nonsense!"

I wonder if David held similar views on his peers in the media like Bob for instance...
