Exactly, did they de-Paul the room prior to going on air?

""We've asked our invited guests here this evening to withhold their applause,
any verbal reactions to what they hear on stage, so as to ensure this is about the four candidates here tonight and what they have to say."

Once again the MSM just don't get it.
