Scarborough: Biased Debate Moderators Haven't Been Problem in the Past
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/30/2015 5:43:09 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

When this NewsBuster began preparing today's item, the focus was going to be on Joe Scarborough's statement on today's Morning Joe that "90% of the people in our business vote for Democrats and Democratic primaries." Not that it was something we didn't already know [though query whether even 10% of MSMers are Republicans], but refreshing to hear it so starkly stated.

But preparing the video clip, something more stunning emerged. Scarborough actually suggested that the problem of biased debate moderators is something new: "this is not something we've had a problem with in the past." Say what? Do the names George Stephanopoulos and Candy Crowley ring a bell, just to cite two examples of outrageous moderator bias from the last presidential cycle?

Say what? Scarborough says we haven’t had problem of biased debate moderators in the past.

Joe Scarborough always makes a convincing case for retroactive abortion.

We should have TV show called “True Callings”....

These two could start it off with “Montana T!tty Bar Dancer” and “Porn Fluffer.”

BULLSTALIN, I have posted against it for the past 2 or 3 presidential election cycles.

The woman behind the final 2008 presidential debate stood to profit with a book about Obama slated for release in January 2009.

There is no reason that liberal Democrats should be moderating the GOP PRIMARY debates. Unless Democrats are willing to let Mark Levin moderate a Democrat primary debate.

A rigged debate is a rigged election.

Moderators make things moderate. Conservators work in art museums. Liberators free things.

Bernard Shaw famously asked Michael Dukakis how he would react to finding his wife actively being raped. At the time I thought, and still think, it was a question way outside the realm of civil discourse. By the same token Dukakis’s answer was so horrible even Tip O’Neill criticized it.

Liberals become immersed so deep in liberalism that they lose sense of reality and the world around them.

Joe's memory must be failing.

Or maybe he hasn't watched any of the past "debates".
