“Candy Crowley fact-checked a statement live during a Romney-Obama town hall debate.”

Matt Lauer got attacked for asking Hillary Clinton tough questions and Donald Trump softballs.

I'm sorry I missed that Forum. I guess I saw the other one.

Crowley didn’t “fact check” anything. She coordinated with Obama in presenting a plausible excuse for his ineptitude.

The only REAL fact checkers that matter are those of us who will be watching. Just about every statement by Shrillary will be a potential and even a probable lie.

Everyone knows there will be a debate transcript. Anyone with internet access can do all the fact-checking they want.

It is disingenuous of Clinton’s minions to demand a moderator/Inquisitor, but that’s how she rolls.

All we want for Donald Trump is a level playing field.

I think NBC will structure the questions given to Hillary to let her attack Trump and questions given to Trump will be structured to make him defend himself...

The LSM wouln’t recognize a fact if it came out of the toilet while they were peeing sitting down and bit them on the butt.

“Fact” has lost meaning. Leftists and “fact checkers” have made it mean “what I want to believe” rather than “what’s true”.

Fact checking sites are also liberally biased and Trump will call them out on that.

I think this is a pre-debate spin by Clinton. She will do the fact checking at the debate and doesn’t want to come across as the scolding hag that she is. She’s trying to soften the battlefield, but it won’t work. Her speaking voice and manner are too annoying.

the head of the Commission on Presidential Debates...according to the president of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which sets the rules for who qualifies for debates and how debates are formatted...

How on earth could we the People ever have permitted the existence of such a thing as a non-representative body of interested parties to control Presidential candidates in this way?

The norm against fact-checking was famously broken in 2012, when Candy Crowley fact-checked a statement live during a Romney-Obama town hall debate.

And the article failed to point out: Crowley got it wrong. It was a complete setup, and she fell for it.

Sharyl Atkinson published an article in the past week or so, where she detailed the Obama's administration to set up that strawman and press the media to knock it down.

They should ‘fact-check’ hillary.

That’d be a hot one.

Some one should have "fact-checked" this article. Candy Crowley did not "fact-check" Romney in his 2012 debate with Obama - she lied to coverup for Obama.

Here's an excerpt of the facts from "Romney was RIGHT! Candy Crowley admits Mitt was correct to attack Obama over Libya killings..."- dailymail.co.uk:

Candy Crowley admitted that Mitt Romney was RIGHT to criticise Barack Obama for his response to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi just hours after she apparently sided with Obama at a crucial point in the high drama presidential debate on Tuesday night.

The moderator's shock intervention, in which she cut Romney short when he claimed that Obama had failed to say the attack was the work of terrorists in the his Rose Garden statement the following day, has been met with outrage.

However, Crowley appeared to backtrack just a few hours after she left the GOP candidate exposed on the stage in front of millions of viewers. She admitted that Romney had been 'right in the main' but added that he had 'picked the wrong word'.

The row intensified when Michelle Obama was caught on camera applauding Crowley's intervention - despite rules banning members of the audience from clapping or otherwise showing support during the debate, which has been called the 'most rancorous' in history.

In short, Obama claimed he called Benghazi a terrorist act the next day when he didn't do so until 9 days later. But Crowley "fact-checked" Romney calling out that lie (over a claimed wrong word) and covered-up that Obama lie!

If the moderator were to pull a “fact-check” stunt.
Watch DJT tear into him or her, I’d bet he will call it out.

Illary essentially admits she cannot handle the Donald one on one by begging the moderator to take her side against Trump. She cannot win unless it’s two on one. Trump should be beating this drum on Twitter.

There shouldn't be any kind of moderator. Period. A director in a control room offstage ought to be present to cut the mike of any debater that runs overtime, and that's it.

The thing that most people don't seem to understand is that the debate is already slanted in Grandma Nixon's favor no matter what happens on the stage, because liberal moderators make up the questions. Hillary will not be asked how she feels about Planned Parenthood selling baby parts, or what she was doing when Americans were being murdered in Benghazi, or what her husband could possibly have to say that would be worth first class travel, five star accommodations, and speaking fees in excess of $500,000.

In addition to removing the moderators, the debaters should ask each other their OWN questions. Until that happens, the conservative will always be operating at a YUGE disadvantage.

“This isn’t a matter of a Fox News host giving favorable treatment to a Republican candidate...”

I stopped reading right here. Anyone who thinks that a “Fox News host” is going to be favorable to Trump clearly hasn’t watched a second of it for the past six months.

Certainly not prissy Chrissy.
