Mika Skeptical of Stephanopoulos as Dem Debate Moderator
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/04/2016 9:16:55 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

File this one under A Liberal Discovers Media Bias . . . Back in 2012, George Stephanopoulos somehow was permitted to moderate a Republican primary debate, and proceeded to harangue frontrunner Mitt Romney on the arcane matter of the right of states to prohibit contraceptive sales, thus abetting the Dems' "GOP War on Women" narrative. Republicans were rightly outraged.

Now, in an ironic twist, it's the turn of some liberals to doubt Stephanopoulos' ability to serve as an impartial moderatot . . . of a Dem debate. On today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski repeatedly expressed skepticism at the notion of Steph moderating a debate between Hillary and Bernie Sanders, given that George served as a senior aide to President Clinton and has been a donor to the Clinton Foundation.

The issue here isn’t whether Snuffleupagus is a liberal or conservative, since both Sanders and Clinton are communists. The issue is that Snuffleupagus is one of Stalin’s henchmen, and Trotsky might find it objectionable.

Especially if Snuffleupagus shows up to the debate with an ice pick.

How white of her. I’ll bet she will have no problem with Steffy as moderator in a ‘RAT / ‘Puke debate once Hitlery wins the nomination.

The GOP-e debates have always allowed scorpions like Stephy to ride on their backs, then they always feign outrage when they get stung. The act is old and most of us are on to them.

Trump said `Enough!’ to being: “Did a chik? Dad a chak? Dum a chum?-ed” by venomous crab critters like him—Rupert Murdoch’s pole dancer Meghyn Kelly in particular—but what did the resident GOP-e shills opine?
That he was chicken. Try to catch up, all you idjits.

Stephanopoulos ran the infamous ‘Clinton War Room’... I hope there’s more than a little skepticism... from Mika and every other person on the planet.

In a totally unrelated issue ... do you think Corey Lewandowski would make a good debate moderator between Cruz and Trump?

Little George was sent to the “news” department simply so he could continue the Clinton propaganda. All the networks are connected to the Clintonista Crime Family. Some people are just too dumb to figure it out.
