Journalism: If the mainstream press had any self-respect, presidential debate moderator Candy Crowley would be out of work today. Even by the media-bias standards we've come to expect, she set a new, unforgivable low.
In a pre-debate interview with the Baltimore Sun's David Zurawik, Crowley talked about how she saw her role as moderator.
"These are two grown men," she said, "and if there are two grown men who should know what's going on, or what should go on in this country, it's them. So I'm not sure either of them needs me to defend them or go after the other guy or whatever."
But that's precisely what Crowley did at Tuesday's debate.

The real question is why hasn’t Candy Cruller gotten a promotion yet?
Good Morning! Thanks for posting. I’ll wait for her resignation. I’m sure it is on the way.
Because the pay is better than at MSNBC?
To ask the question is to answer it.
...because the two ton “fly on the wall” did what she was suppose to do. She ran interference for the little boy king.
....better grab a chair
Yes, they were two grown men who should know what's going on in this country. That being said, Crowley is a grown woman, and she should have understood her proper role in the debates. Of course, she, being of the fairer and gentler sex, automatically assumes she does not have to follow the rules. Only grown men have to follow the rules.
Because she is merely doing what CNN WANTS her to- campaign for the Obamabastard.
Here’s the thing....ten to fifteen years ago...for the debates...no one would have come down on the moderators. No newspaper or TV journalist. It was a free ticket.
Today? I think sixty percent of America saw a minor-league journalist running the moderator position and perhaps in some ways helping one candidate over another.
To be truthful....I doubt that there are more than five big-league journalists left in America today.
Crowley said she might use Transcendental Meditation to help keep things on an even keel drawing upon the original India-based training.
Instead her behavior was more in line with something that needs immediate help from Caesar Milan.
Too fat to fire!
TZZT.
I don’t think she will lose her job, but she won’t moderate another debate. For someone trying to impress, that alone is punishment. It depends on how she does her day to day job for her employers will decide if she is fired or not. I know people who make mistakes in their job and don’t get fired. However, they need to seriously improve their job performance for awhile before they become “in good standing” at work. I know someone who deleted thousands of files from the main frame and did not get fired. Oh people were pissed for awhile, but they gave them a serious warning and also put the incident on paper and had the person not “shaped up” would have gotten fired. This employee ended up staying and doing a good job.
A promotion may be coming shortly..I just saw Tucker Carlson say on FOX AND FRIENDS that a friend of his at CNN has told him that Candy Crowly is being celebrated there for her dishonesty and corrupt action. The first thought in my mind was that she aspires to be the “Minister of Misinformation” for the Obama administration. Perhaps she will be.
Why does everybody presume we need a “journalist” to moderate these events? Let’s get some serious thinkers in there who could do a much better job. There are lots of great candidates from various conservative think tanks - Hoover, Cato, American Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation, the Claremont Institute, Hillsdale College - who would do a spectacular job.
...”I doubt that there are more than five big-league journalists left in America today”...
True..And, can you imagine what those few thing about the work they chose? It is a profession without honor..They seem more like street gangs than professionals.
Do you think the person that deleted the files would have been fired if the company found that it was deliberate sabotage?
Our focus should be on why there is a CNN for Candy Crowley; CNN is about as relevant as the New York Times.
HOW did Obama KNOW that Crowley had a TRANSCRIPT from the Rose Garden???HE GAVE IT TO HER!!! CHEATERS!!
