WestVirginiaRebel Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Fox News: 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 Monday’s debate in favor of Hillary Clinton. Holt’s 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 wasn’t 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 candidate’s 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. ________ Granny's kids get desperate.

righteousmomma Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yes and all the msm are proclaiming Hillary the winner - except Fox. NBC actually had the gall to say that Trump was a misogynist bully during the debate. WHY does the GOP keep accepting these moderators !!! NBC also covered Hillary "back out there" on the stump after the debate. Yeh, here at the Community College where 2 or 3 hundred came out while Trump who had 10,000 in Florida inside and another 10,000 outside according to Breitbart got no mention. Also the 0 and other Dems won't call Trump by name - he is just the "opponent" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
