Debate Moderators Released: They All Lean Left
The Daily Wire ^ | SEPTEMBER 2, 2016 | BEN SHAPIRO

Posted on 09/28/2016 7:00:54 AM PDT by RepublicanJoe

On Friday morning, the debate moderators emerged for the long-awaited presidential brawls between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. The first presidential debate will be moderated by Lester Holt of NBC News; the vice presidential debate will be moderated by Elaine Quijano of CBS News; Martha Raddatz of ABC News and Anderson Cooper of CNN for the second debate; and finally, Chris Wallace for the third debate.

This isn’t a great list for Hillary, but it’s a worse list for Trump.

They’re all liberals in the tank for Hillary.

Not one of them is objective and non-partisan.

They make Hannibal Lecter look sane.

If they stand in front of a camera and behind a desk,

Everyone.

Leans.

Left.

When you’re picking from among employees of the Ministry of Propaganda, you’re going to end up with propagandists.

I am thinking that the Debate committee which makes these decisions has a majority of leftist as members. Is this true? It is unreal that a balance does not exist among the moderators. Just another sign of the times. This has to stop!

Why do Republicans put up with this? Why did Trump NOT tell those in charge of the Debates that if they wanted him to participate then they would have to put in fair moderators.

For example he could have said Rush Limbaugh is going to be the moderator or I am NOT coming.

He could have sponsored his OWN debates and invited Hillary and if she did NOT show up then just do a 90 minute infomercial for himself.

Every 4 years we complain about the liberal moderators but then do nothing about it.

I am so tired of Republicans NOT fighting full force!

Why IS there a debate committee? If there is an even number of debates, each candidate gets to choose a moderator. Or, they both have to agree on one.

Its a glorified press conference with the moderator enlisted to tilt the debate to the favored candidate.

A genuine debate would just have the candidates face off against each other.

But the debate commission and their corrupt media proxy would never allow it.

RNC keeps agreeing to liberal pressitutes instead of demanding a genuine debate.

Why are they surprised its a setup?

Lean left?

That headline is an idiotic statement and an insult

Besides our awareness of the media, Lester holt was blatantly working for Hillary against trump

Trump had to go in to the first debate cold just to get a feel for the second person In the debate

Any debate is going to be trump versus Hillarys team. It is never a one to one debate it is one to two three or four

Q. What do the debate moderators have in common with Bill Clinton’s wedding tackle?

Democrat politicians and their fellow travelers exist in a world of misdirection, subterfuge, conspiracy, propaganda and outright lies (which they continually accuse their opponents of, in projection). Truth and facts are their enemies. A real debate with unbiased moderation is so risky for them they can’t possibly allow it.

Pray Americans are awakening in droves.

The oligarchy owns the networks. The folks running the networks are owned and they are degenerates at heart. Degenerates hire other degenerates. Degenerates are inherently dishonest. The moderators will all be dishonest and will do as they are instructed, like Lester the lip wearing that earpiece, being fed specific data to attack The Donald’s responses. Lester and the rest of them are dead soul leftists hired by dead souls to serve the dead in spirit.

By now most thinking common sense people have seen Lester Holt for what he really was during the first debate. The more the left attacks Donald Trump, the more popular he becomes. The USA ship of state has been listing BADLY left for almost eight years and the country is ready to right the ship. So bring on the left leaning moderators to prop up their failed candidate and watch what happens.

This seems like obvious info. And coming from Ben Shapiro, I have to ask “why should you even care?” He has done nothing to support Trump at all.
