Everyone knew...Donald Trump was going to have a difficult time at Sunday night’s debate, as a video of incredibly lewd comments Trump made in 2005 surfaced over the weekend.
But debate moderator Martha Raddatz’s pro-Hillary Clinton bias wasn’t helping the polarizing GOP nominee one bit. Right from the get-go, ABC News’ Raddatz cut Trump off as he was answering a question about the aforementioned video.

But going into the debate, it was pretty clear Martha Raddatz would be the most biased.
Recall, this is the woman who described Hillary Clinton’s testimony before the House Benghazi committee as “riveting.”
“It was truly a riveting day on Capitol Hill. We don’t say that very often, with Secretary Clinton as some have never seen her before. She was at times, combative, charming, disarming and clearly ready for a fight.”
— ...Raddatz on Good Morning America, January 24, 2013.
She’s also previously described Clinton as “cool” and “trending.”
...her bias was expected. This isn’t the ABC correspondent’s first outing as a debate moderator. Back in 2012, she moderated the vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan, and at times that debate felt like a 2-on-1 gang-up on the Republican.
Raddatz allowed Biden to incessantly interrupt Ryan and, as Breitbart News reported in 2012, she attacked the Republican VP candidate at least nine separate times.
A Media Research Center report at the time found that...
Out of 48 discrete questions and follow-ups, a plurality (19, or 40%) incorporated a pro-Obama/Biden or anti-Romney/Ryan agenda...

Of course, it wasn’t surprising Raddatz played for Team Obama, considering Obama was a guest at her wedding in 1991.
Why does the Republican Party agree to let agenda-driven moderators...continue to control these debates?...

Because they want to lose?
Sounds like she has a long history of being hard to get along with.
Shame on the RNC for agreeing to these terrible moderators. There should be no debates in 2020, or have only one, as has been done before. To make the GOP candidate fight the Democrat moderators and the Democrat candidate is obviously unfair.
Why did Trump stand for it and not insist on better moderators?
WTF, who in the hell would marry her. She looks like skinny gerbal with a screeching voice. Some men must be desperate.
Why doesn’t he just tell these moderators to either shut up or come take Hillary’s microphone?
She must have a wash and wear wedding dress! She can’t even settle on which piece of RAT crap with whom to set up housekeeping.
US MEDIA AND THE MARXIST FRANKFURT SCHOOL
Still perplexed about WHY this CRAP keeps happening in and to this country and just never seems to end? This will clear it all up!
THE US MEDIA and OTHER CENTERS OF INFLUENCE AND THE MARXIST FRANKFURT SCHOOL!
This long forgotten – or completely UNKNOWN among the “snowflakes” and “yutes” — HISTORY of the close relationship between the leftist “educated” (indoctrinated is more like it) “pseudo elite” dumb asses being churned out of colleges and universities here and the Marxist socialism (which, if not strangled in its crib, has ALWAYS morphed into communism) that has failed everywhere it has been tried may aid your understanding of the media’s vicious hatred of Trump and his supporters (the now infamous “DEPLORABLES”).
The sad fact is that the media here is overwhelmingly populated by these deluded dumb asses! Any nefarious, otherwise disreputable act by them is acceptable — even encouraged — because, according to Marxist/socialist methodology, all that matters is “THE STRUGGLE” for their insane Utopian workers’ paradise where all will be equal but some — including most of THEM — will be more equal than others!
You may be growing weary of hearing this but I’ll keep reminding folks until we reach the critical mass needed to defeat them. During Hitler’s rise to power as head of the Nazi (National SOCIALIST) Party in the 30s, he was greatly aided by one Ernst Rohm, head of the SA. Once Hitler had gained total control of Germany, in 1934 he purged (as in KILLED!) the party of EVERY member he felt might challenge his position. His old friend, Herr Rohm was rewarded for his help with a bullet in his brain in a jail cell!
Should this — this — WOMAN and her criminal crew prevail in November, it is my fervent prayer that those who aided her rise suffer similar fates — especially those in the media who have committed countless acts of the sort now the norm in the mendacious media here.
Think her election is impossible? The most dangerous phrase in ANY language is “Why THAT could NEVER HAPPEN HERE!”
I believe the expression that best characterizes the relationship between the media and the Clintons is the old one from the 50s: “FELLOW TRAVELERS”! You “snowflakes”and “yutes” will need to look it up as I doubt your teachers brought it to your attention.
Years ago, Dr. Gary North predicted that the radical left would capture America with the insane and human nature denying goal of “transforming” it into an egalitarian unicorn and rainbow Utopia by “capturing the ROBES”. By that, he meant those institutions we granted various levels of authority over us and our affairs: The clergy, the judiciary... and the ACADEMICS.
The roots of the problems in academia flow back to something referred to as the Frankfurt School and their 1935 move to COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY and the spread of Marxist thought (now there’s an oxymoron for ya’!) into every area of learning here.
A prime example of the rot now endemic in the academy is the COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF “JOURNALISM”. It is THE premier center for spreading Marxism here in America and it has been incredibly successful in its destruction of traditional and American values. Not only do its direct graduates permeate the media here, but many of them also double as teachers in lesser known institutions of media instruction. Herein lies the genesis of Limbaugh’s descriptive expression “Driveby Media”. Now you know why virtually every so-called “journalist” HATES folks like us.
The Wikipedia entry says that the “...FRANKFURT SCHOOL was founded in 1923 by Carl Grünberg, a Marxist legal and political professor at the University of Vienna,[10] as an adjunct of the University of Frankfurt; it was the first Marxist-oriented research center affiliated with a major German university.[3] However, the school can trace its earliest roots back to Felix Weil, who used money from his father’s grain business to finance the Institute. “
Isn’t it fascinating that here is an early instance of a Marxist ANTI-CAPITALIST organization financing itself with the hated PROFITS of a capitalist business? The hypocrisy is mind-boggling and a precursor to how the wealthy capitalists here fund the Clinton and other leftist machines!
More recent examples of that dichotomy would be the offspring of John D. Rockefeller who have largely spent their lives promoting socialism (using other people’s money, of course). And recently Bill Gates treated us to the wisdom that only SOCIALISM can solve the woes of this world. What these folks refuse to acknowledge that even THEY do not possess sufficient personal wealth to make a dent in those woes if the recipients of that largess are incapable of sustaining themselves once the largess stops flowing or is exhausted.
If one examines the life of Karl Marx, we find a bum who abandoned his wife and family to advance the socialist struggle and never worked or dirtied his hands at day in his life. That sort of thing was for the bourgeoisie, not such an exalted personage as himself. His guilt over that abandonment probably explains Karl’s fondness for state welfare paid for by the labor of others so that his abandoned family wouldn’t perish (not that a mensch like Karl gave a rat’s ass).

Wrong. She was Trump’s best friend. She made him look measured and reasonable. I also think everyone assessed her bias just fine.
So, why the hell does the RNC agree to these hacks?
As soon as this election is over I am leaving the republican party and registering as an Independent. Never again a Republican. We need a third party, a Trump Party.
ooooh Looord! She embarrassed herself. But of course. She has no idea; she’s an arrogant, self righteous, elitist, campaign shill at best. Oh my. Was that redundant? lol
Moderators should not be journalists.
The only problem with doing that—at least in California. Is you can’t vote in the Republican primary. And you are usually left to vote only on the Independent primary list—which is usually a bunch of unknown or regular, ultra lefties (although I’m not sure there is a difference between the ultras and the Democratic party anymore. You may want to research for your state first. The ONLY way we can effect change in the Republican party is to stay in a change it from within—at least as far as voting for the candidates we like and getting rid of the leadership we don’t.
My post says the only way. Of course I’m sure there are others. But that one is the most apparent for now.
Raddatz was terrible. She was debating Trump! I don’t think they should do these debates anymore.
>Moderators should not be journalists.
That’s easy: ‘cuz they AREN’T either.
Don’t conflate the teleprompter-reading talking-heads *opinion* for that of *news*.
Unfort., the (R)NC could give 2 sh!ts about ‘objectivity’; they want to be LIKED and invited onto said shows. You can’t be principled in Constitutional ideology and be part of the ‘round-table’...
