“Personally I found the constant moderators saying “you have 2 minutes” to be ingratiating. They are nobodies. Let the candidates go at it any way they want.”
After introducing one new topic, O’Donnell said to Vance: “I’ll give you two minutes” instead of “You have two minutes”. Mighty nice of her.
***At this point, it is almost comical, where those viewers interested in the form and fairness of the debates get to play a game of “how are they favoring the Democrat side?”
The news can’t help themselves. Their lack of objectivity and neutrality, their apparent bias and total lack of professionalism will almost always guarantee some form of bias that is pro-Democrat.
My personal observation:
In this debate, the pro Walz game that CBS played was most extreme BEFORE the debate started.
How so?
Before the debate began, CBS had no less than 3 different stories on Walz, zero on JD Vance.
1.) One story told about how Walz loved in cats and dogs. How his cat went missing and how he went to extremes to attempt to find it. (Everyone loves puppies)
2.) The next interviewed a peer from the military and told about what a great guy he is. (Obvious immunization attempt since there are some questions about him leaving and his claims)
3.) Finally there was a story by a journalist that told about how he was a great governor. (Build credibility)
And what about JD?
Nothing-
There was some bias in the debate in how they handled the two candidates, but those differences were small IMHO.
There is a reason why JD Vance spent the first minute on the opening question, telling about himself rather than answering the question.
He’s quick, and I am sure he could have talk on that issue far longer than the time allotted.
However, Walz basically had 3 “news” stories about him before the debates began and the viewer if they tuned in before hand received 1 hour of how great this guy is.
Yes, beautiful eyes.
At least they didn’t have a chick in a gray coat with shoulder padding like in the ABC debate.
In the US, the “professional women look” is often androgynous or even masculine. IMHO, that started in the 80s and the TV show Murphy Brown sort of captured that spirit. Horrible! When foreigners make fun of US fashion, that is deserving of the criticism.
How is being ashamed of being a woman, hiding the women, feminist?
Those two women had all the charm of cadavers.
She needs to shave her chin..
That pic looks like something from Saturday Night Live...
“Of course, I can’t figure out why the GOP doesn’t demand just that.”
Because there would never be a debate. D’s will not debate if the moderators are not aggressive partisans.
Trump’s campaign decided that a debate helped him and hurt Harris. And he is not afraid of aggressive partisan moderators.
