“In what has become a standard line of attack for his anti-establishment campaign, Mr. Gingrich blamed the media for trying to silence a dissenting point of view.’
Maybe because they are?
The idea that these are serious debates to begin with is a joke.
The sole purpose of the gag order last night was to take advantage away from gingrich.
Otherwise,I agree with what others who have said, if the audience has to remain silenced then why have an audience at all?
Just eliminate the audience.
While we are at it maybe they could make it a rule that the moderatorts can’t ask stupid loaded,biased and or gotcha questions?
you forgot one thing.
NBC set this up to protect Williams they knew by telling the crowd to shut up the crowd would not boo Williams and make him look stupid.
If the next crowd is told to shut up then all there need to get up and walk out in protest.
Yet again the MSM is protecting their own and their candidate to go up against their messiah
