Back when I was a pup in the newspaper business, legendary reporter Peter Kihss gave me lifetime advice about covering politicians. Remember, he said, there are no such things as stupid questions, only stupid answers.
Which brings us to Lester Holt and the accusations that the moderator tipped Mondays debate in favor of Hillary Clinton. Holts bias was obvious, but the impact was not inevitable. It mattered largely because, shockingly, Donald Trump was shocked that Holt was in the tank for Clinton.
How could Trump not see that coming? And if he did, why wasnt he better prepared?
Holt never pressed Clinton with any substantive follow-ups, while Trump repeatedly was asked to defend or explain what he had just said or said in the past.
Holt insisted repeatedly Trump had supported the Iraq War, despite the candidates denials, and asked pointed questions about his taxes and the Obama birther issue. Yet Clinton got only one obligatory question on the email scandal, and not a single one about the Clinton Foundation, her Wall Street speaking fees or her health all of which have figured far more prominently in the campaign than Iraq or the birther issue.
It was outrageous but no surprise. After all, Holt is part of the Big Media establishment that has uniformly protected President Obama and broken all its own standards to trash Trump and elect Clinton.

you already missed the trigger "law and order"Holt... now get ready for trigger "Stop and Frisk"Holt..follow-up...follow-up!!!
Well, not exactly. Maybe HER voters aren’t abandoning her, but fence-sitters on our side are moving Trump because it’s a way to give the middle finger to the drive-bys.
Holt, a half-breed pimping for President half-breed’s replacement.
You know what is really telling about the debate, nearly all the questions had to do with what Trump said. None of them had anything to do with what Hillary said or DONE.
Goodness-honest reporting from the ancient pinko Goodwin. He’s been around since he was in the Kennedy administration and his equally ancient and equally pinko wife Doris Kearns Goodwin has been turning stomachs for nearly as long.
Turning stomachs and plagiarizing.
I wonder if we could get this to be picked up by Rush and/or Hannity?
I don’t think Trump didn’t see it coming. He’s been around the media for 40 years.
I think he played his game against their game. And he won.
It sure looks like directed signals to me. Doing it once or even twice might be a coincidence, but 6 times? And it seems to me that when people naturally have these mannerisms, it is done in an unselfconscious way. But Hillary is fully alert and the movements seem unnatural and targeted and take a longer amount of time than one would normally take if their nose simply itches. And she manages to rub her nose 3 times each time! I would love to hear an analysis of these gestures by some honest body language experts. Also, I would like an analysis of what happens with Lester after she she does her nose rubs each time.
That’s the Press-Register here in Mobile. Ever since they became a part of AL.com they have become one of the biggest liberal rags I’ve read. As my brother keeps saying “don’t these idiots know who their readers are?”. And they wonder why subscriptions keep being cancelled.
Trump needs to practice saying, Am I debating her? Or You?
And repeat it every time the moderator comes at him.
Needs to be vetted first. As someone above asked are these the only times she scratched her face ? Were there other zingers where she did not use this method ? Is this a nervous habit of hers that occurs in other similar situations?
Yes, exactly correct.
The “media” is being decimated by the millions of new journo reporters armed with a smart phone and Twitter, Imgur, Snapchat, YouTube accounts.
Case in point the Hillary 9/11 collapse which circled the globe in minutes after it happened, with no enemdia filters and propaganda.
I just saw this earlier today, no mainstream media is touching it.

The “deplorables” are at it again.
Sad part about good old Lester is that he is an AF brat who father retired out of Beale AFB in Sacramento. Guess those military roots were dug up a long time ago.
The Fourth Estate is the Fifth Column.
It’s already on Twitter...thanks to Mike Cernovich.
When you are face to face with prearranged corruption such as we clearly saw in the pingpong between Hillary and the so called moderator of the “debate,” then Hillary can’t help but lose votes.
AZ paper is important? To whom? No one gets papers any more. They are a dinosaur.
Lester DOLT was in on this even MORE than I thought!! DISGUSTING!!
to ALL....WATCH THAT YOUTUBE!!!!!
Look at post#2....go look at the YouTube for the hand signals that Hillary gives to Lester Dolt!!! It is SO FREAKING OBVIOUS!!!
