Lester Holt shows he doesn’t know the meaning of impartial
New York Post ^ | 9/26/16 | Kyle Smith

The ref not only made himself part of the game on Monday night, he ran up to the scrimmage line, then sacked the quarterback three times.

He doesn’t know or - more likely - he simply doesn’t give a rat’s *ss.

I am sure Mr. Holt “made himself part of the game” of necessity for the continuation of his career. MSM bungled badly doing that, though. By obviously loading the dice so that the audience could see them skid instead of tumble it reduced considerably what Trump had to accomplish to stay ahead. The left did not understand, does not understand, cannot understand what is happening now, just as it could not understand it when Reagan ran. It does not fit the world they have created in their collective mind.

Give Lester a break. His career was at stake and he may lose it anyway because popular perception was not as it was supposed to be. MSM almost has to blame him for the Trump win. He should have been more aggressive, or something. After all, Mrs Bill didn’t fall on the floor so she certainly should be voted the winner by the watchers.

It is a good thing that Mrs Bill did not collapse or bob her head or freeze up obviously. She can’t be pulled out of the race now and we aren’t faced with Trump having to run against Michelle. Had that been the case, all the limits on vote fraud would have dissolved. The Democrats have the ability to make the election results, the vote count, go any way they desire and Obama is the one who has to say do it. He may well prefer a Clinton loss as it clears the obstacles out of his way to totally control the Party and, with it, the EPA and the rest of the bureaucracy.

Total set up. Probably sat around with his elitist friends and made up the questions and then got them to Clinton. It was too scripted, too perfect for her.

you shouldn’t judge someone by the color of their skin, but actually you really can with almost 100% accuracy

Lester Holt wanted to avoid being Matt Lauered.

Ironically enough, that set the wrath of liberals upon him for giving away the store in blatant partisanship.

Poor Holt! He did what the Left wanted him to do and the Left thought he made Trump seem instead a very human and sympathetic figure.

Exactly the opposite of the mission the Left demanded Holt fulfill and he screwed the pooch.

The poor liberal ref - what was he supposed to do? And Trump is still standing in the wreckage of Holt’s failed attempt to take him out.

Holt got smoked to smithereens by his own blatant bias.

I have a different take on this. The moderator's job isn't to be impartial. The moderator's job isn't even to be a moderator.

The moderator's job is to make sure the election appears close enough that people will actually tune in to his network for the next six weeks. If Lester Holt exhibited any bias in favor of Clinton, it's because his network bosses told him she's losing this race.

The Republicans need to change the format of these debates . They need to insist on having their own moderators ,just like the Democrats do now.

Nobody is watching the MSM.

I click off CNN instead of watching the insufferable talk from pundits who know nothing about America.

I have to say its death rattle is going to be immensely satisfying.

People hate it even more than they hate Hillary.

And these ones will continue to aid and abet the Beast.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper and ABC’s Martha Raddatz, and Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace.

Where is Michelle Malkin, she should be a Mod, there should be one from both sides of the isle, Malkin at least knows the truth from lies and would ask hard ball questions of both.

Agree there's the need to feed the media beast: if the horse race isn't close, there's no reason for the campaigns and SuperPacs to double down on paid advertising.

Another key motivator is peer pressure -- avoiding ridicule or scoring a victory. To bag a big game like Trump would earn a moderator [hit man] a mighty fine trophy. But Trump's cunning and experience enables him to escape MSM plots every time. More often than not, the hunter himself becomes the fool.
