I thought Lauer did a great job.
this article Is filled with inside The beltway echo chamber gems. they really do Not get it. It’s going to Be a landslide similar to 1980
thanks for posting this.
Libs are on full meltdown this morning because Hillary got a few hard questions
Joe Scarborough and Chuck Todd were calling it a draw, saying both did badly. Chuck claimed Trump said 8 shocking things in 24 minutes.
Reading that is 5 minutes I will never get back.
Very subjective and venomous towards Trump.
Hard to believe, but Lauer was fair.
Like most reporters, Matt Lauer reads the questions.
” The shock, for me, was the realization that most Americans inhabit a very different news environment than professional journalists. I not only consume a lot of news, since it’s my job, I also tend to focus on elite print news sources. “

My Chait , I think I see your problem...
Which means he is a closed minded political bigot who only listens to what he wants to hear and does not pay any attention to any facts that challenge his pathetic little bubble world dogmas.
I agree with your assessment. :)
“matches the reality of the polls, which is a world in which Clinton and Trump are equivalently flawed.”
Equivalently flawed ? WTF is that ?
OH he’s a journalist. Also he’s a pompous ass. Author-who-never-passed-English thinks he’s a better deliverer of news than Matt Lauer.
Caged birds around the country rejoice in this media and their talents.
Panties in a wad! Blaming those rubes who don’t read the propaganda from the NYT and WaPo, for not knowing anything?
I have never read a more perfect example of sneering pseudo-intellectual New York elitism in my life.
Yep, it was a hit by Ratt Lauer, all right.
Come to think of it, he LOOKS like a ratt, too...
I would think that the average undecided got sick of folks like Lauer years ago. If they hadn’t, they’d be behind Hillary already.
Pinwheels-for-eyes.
I guess someone's going to have to grab cHait and beat his face in with the transcript of Colin Powell disavowing her lie about him.
It doesn’t matter what this “journalist” thinks. I had a whole different take. Putin is popular, 82% approval rating? The things he picked out as problems for Trump were assets for me. And I’m a voter, not a “journalist.”
"The average undecided voter is getting snippets of news from television personalities like Lauer, who are failing to convey the fact that the election pits a normal politician with normal political failings against an ignorant, bigoted, pathologically dishonest authoritarian."
Now if the description: "ignorant, bigoted, pathologically dishonest authoritarian" doesn't fit Hillary Clinton like a glove then I don't understand English. But, of course, the author assigned those words to the wrong candidate.
Trump fan here. I didn’t think this way his best performance. He rambled at times, botched the I’m smarter than the Generals issue, talked about polls when there was no need to, and let Lauer bash him on his love for Putin. He was much better in the speech the morning before this.
