I guess I can understand the ignorance. Real moderators have been gone so long for these things most of you don’t understand the proper role of the moderator.
The moderator is there to manage the clock and ask questions to spark a discussion amount the candiates that shows allow the debators to compare/contrast their views and positions.
Clown moderators ask questions designed to interject themselves into the debate. They ask questions that really have no bearing on anything but the modetor trying to show off for their fellow clowns in the “news” media.
Kelly and Wallace are ego driven publicity whores more interested in hyping their career by showing off their “toughness” then doing their job. Instead of serious policy questions, we get the standard issue Media jackass behavior.
Based on their conduct the RNC should tell Fox to pick some OTHER Fox personalities who can actually moderate or lose the debate slot.
Johnnie, I’ve been watching Presidential politics since 1960, even before televised debates. I’ve watched my share of debates through the years, so I’ll match my understanding of effective moderation against anybody here.
Moderators should stimulate discussion, not play patty-cake with thin-skinned prima donnas.
Make ‘em talk, give them rope, let us see how they explain themselves with the world watching, and let the voters decide.
Those who refuse to watch are merely afraid to have their preconceived notions challenged.
