CNN does ‘disservice to voters’ by naming Don Lemon debate moderator, critic says
Fox News ^ | 07/08/2019 | Brian Flood

Posted on 07/08/2019 8:45:23 AM PDT by DFG

CNN announced on Monday that Don Lemon will follow in the footsteps of MSNBC’s far-left opinion host Rachel Maddow as a Democratic presidential primary debate moderator -- and one critic called the decision a "disservice to voters all across the political spectrum.”

Lemon will join Dana Bash and Jake Tapper for the two-night event on July 30-31 from Detroit. Debate moderators are historically straight-news journalists, as opposed to partisan pundits, but CNN’s decision mirrors NBC’s strategy to allow Maddow to moderate last month’s Democratic Debate.

Can’t stand Lemon. So unabashedly liberal he somehow manages to spin even non-political news.

Corrected title: “CNN does ‘disservice to voters’ by being on the air.”

They gave up pretending impartiality years ago. This is no surprise.

Questions to be asked:

“Are you comfortable?”
“Isn’t Donald Trump the nastiest, most evil man you’ve ever seen?”
“How much do you think a white guy should pay to a black guy for reparations?”
“Shouldn’t illegal aliens be allowed to vote?”

And it won’t be a replay of Saturday Night Live.

Don Lemon ?
Chris Wallace?
Chuck Todd?

What difference does it make?

All the moderators will be democrats - all pushing a liberal agenda. None of them will ask questions half the people in the United States care about.

It’s DC ‘elites’ FOR DC ‘elites’...

It could turn into a blessing in disguise.

Lemon can make a fool of himself.

There needs to be at least one moderator who makes the Liberals’ head explode. Rush? Steyn? Someone.

At some point, the all-commie panel of moderators has to end.

Debate moderators are historically straight-news journalists, as opposed to partisan pundits . . .

How many straight-news journalists do we actually have anymore?

Jim Lehrer is getting rather long in the tooth.

A ‘rat debate? Why should it matter if Donnie is the moderator?

Ho-hum. Not sure it matters much who moderates the primary debates. These clown candidates will make fools of themselves, say idiotic things and take extreme-left, suicidal positions on issues regardless of who’s moderating.
