“It’s time to have no moderators, just time keepers. Let’s have a real debate.”
And why do they call these biased inquisitors “moderators”?
A moderator should be more like a referee not an active participant.
My preference for an informative, penetrating presentation of the candidates strength and weaknesses would be for each candidate to choose their own questioner, kinda like a courtroom where each side has their own lawyer. We the people would be the jury. A true moderator could be used to keep time and other rules of the “debate”.
Actually the supposed moderators at these debates do act like the defense attorney for the Democrats, asking them questions whose answers they would like publicized. Then the moderator acts like the prosecutor to the Republican asking them attack questions framed in such a way as to harm them. This is how almost every single interview on TV show goes as well as the panel shows.
