Lauer was widely criticized for failing to fact-check or follow up when Trump falsely claimed that he was opposed to the Iraq war when it started. Some viewers thought Lauer held Clinton to a higher standard than Trump. Several people who were sitting in the audience told CNN that they were frustrated too. OMG it's like the twilight zone!! It's like they totally expect that ANY journalist will go full tilt attack on Trump while Clinton gets a pass and all the time in the world to bs her way through questions with non-specific politispeak answers.
The ONLY thing really funny about it is that they are MAD because as biased and unfair as Lauer was Trump was too deft for him to lay a hand on.

“Trump falsely claimed that he was opposed to the Iraq war when it started.”
Was Trump an elected official who voted on the Iraq invasion in 2002? If not then he can make any claim he wants. Clinton on the other hand is on record as supporting the Iraq invasion.

Not firmly in-the-tank for Hillary, huh?

They’re pissed because he did not take down Trump.
Meanwhile he displayed a real kid glove handling of Hillary with easily prepared for questions, then consistently interrupted Trump and was argumentative with him.
What a travesty for the Hill camp, all she did is more unchallenged lying that will not miss scrutiny at least on the nets, where the real Trump supporters are.

So few who are undecided watched this joke of a forum anyway. Trump will continue to climb, Hillary peaked last month.

That is what is has come to. Hillary cannot do it on her own. She's run down and ill and needs to be put out to pasture. The media sees their job as getting her across the line.

What difference does it make?

Pass the popcorn! If the usual lefty media stuffed shirts are teed off at how that show turned out last night, it can only mean one thing: Trump did better than Clinton, despite the fact that the host and the format were supposed to be rigged to achieve the opposite.
I only saw a few excerpts on FNC last night, and heard a few on radio this morning. Seems as if Her Royal Thighness got into a new twist in her lying about the classified e-mails on the private server, now getting into "headers." Anyone who can't see what a national security risk this moral sleazebag would be as president has either a substandard IQ or a substandard moral consciousness.
To: justiceseeker93
There is a larger subtext here. Hillary’s allies are sending NBC a message that they had better not allow a level playing field at the first debate, which one of Lauer’s colleagues will moderate.
To: tcrlaf
Different background, Trump never knew he would run for President while Clinton was preparing for years, decades...

I believe Matt Lauer’s the first journalists to ask Hillary two tough questions in a row. That’s impressive.

Can someone please brief me on this chatter (mentioned by Rush Limbaugh on his show today) about HRC possibly wearing an earpiece during the event yesterday? If so, what would be the purpose of it?

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE if Donald Trump opposed the war or not when he said he did or a year later. HE WAS NOT AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. What is so hard to understand?
