2012 Presidential Debates -- Games, Games and More Games

I've learned from Breitbart News that two days after CNN's Candy Crowley dubbed the Romney-Ryan ticket "The Death Wish Ticket," she was chosen as one of this year's presidential debate moderators. Here's the lineup:

First presidential debate:
Jim Lehrer, Executive Editor of the PBS NewsHour
Wednesday, October 3, University of Denver, Denver, CO

Vice presidential debate:
Martha Raddatz, Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent, ABC News
Thursday, October 11, Centre College, Danville, KY

Second presidential debate (town meeting):
Candy Crowley, Chief Political Correspondent, CNN and Anchor, CNN's State of the Union
Tuesday, October 16, Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY

Third presidential debate:
Bob Schieffer, Chief Washington Correspondent, CBS News and Moderator, Face the Nation
Monday, October 22, Lynn University, Boca Raton, FL

Notice anything in particular? PBS, of public funding and liberal bias fame; ABC, of selective editing fame; CNN, of barely in the cable ratings fame; and CBS, formerly of Dan Rather infamy and now equally questionable Bob Schieffer fame. One or two may be an exception, but these selections seem to indicate a trend -- they have all shown themselves to be rather liberal "news" outlets.

Thank goodness, at least no one from NBC, the worst of the bunch (except for MSLSD, of course), was chosen. Of course, the Obama ever faithful and sycophantic NBC "News" will still be hammering away every night with bad things about Romney-Ryan, while continuing to give Obama a pass, as they have ever since his campaign started in 2008.

I don't know if Candy Crowley is supposed to be some kind of news heavyweight at CNN, but I can tell from her picture that she is some kind of heavyweight. I don't watch CNN that much, so I don't know if Crowley is supposed to be a hard news reporter or a commentator, but her comment about the Romney-Ryan ticket was certainly commentary, or opinion, not just reporting the news.

It was similar to MSLSD's Andrea Mitchell recently mildly mocking Paul Ryan for saying our rights come from Nature and God and not government and then taking the totally unconnected and illogical leap directly to saying Ryan was not a good pick for women. Huh, Andrea?

First, Ryan's comment about where our rights come from was not original. It's in the beginning of our Declaration of Independence, for goodness sakes! Second, what does that have to do with Ryan being, or not being, a good pick for women? In fact, Ryan is currently polling especially well among seniors, women and blue collar workers, so we'll just see how that goes.

MItchell used to be a reporter, and a good one, but is now a commentator, too, whether she admits it or not. I think advancing years and the MSLSD culture have affected her brain. Of course, hanging around with Chrissy Matthey, Eddie Schlitz and Radical Madcow could turn anyone's brain to mush.

The so-called Commission on Presidential Debates made a joke of itself and its alleged nonpartisanship with this year's moderator choices. I would have included ABC's Jake Tapper and Fox's Bret Baier or the well-seasoned Brit Hume for some balance this year.

At least ABC's Martha Raddatz is a better choice than PBS's Gwen Ifill was to "moderate" the 2008 VP debate between Palin and Biden, when Ifill had a book slavishly praising Obama coming out within weeks of the debate.

If Romney and Ryan sense the liberal media bias in the liberal moderators' questions this year, they should cause some Newt Gingrinch moments and challenge the biased moderator head-on, or, a la Sarah Palin with Ifill, just answer the question the way you want to answer it and talk straight to the American people.

If R&R realize they're entering a hostile, liberal environment, take their time answering, and challenge biased questions with good humor and facts, they will demonstrate the liberal media bias for all to see and make their case to the public at the same time.

AND THE liberal demo's ... CERTAINLY QUALIFY !

Romney & Ryan ... CAN NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT.

They must retain their platform ... AND MAKE FOOLS OUT OF THOSE CHILDREN.

I'M SURE THEY WILL.

Comment by Robert Morgan on August 15, 2012 at 10:47am: Just learned they are trying to ban certain questions from the Presidential debates, for obvious reasons, but with this handpicked panel of questioners from as far left as possible they didn't even need to bother

Admin II Comment by Bill Bissell, Admin II on August 15, 2012 at 10:39am: The LORD is good, a stronghold in a day of trouble; He protects those who take refuge in Him, even in a rushing flood. He will make a full end of His adversaries, and will pursue His enemies into darkness.

(Nahum 1:7-8 NRSV)

Comment by Gloria Wilson on August 15, 2012 at 10:33am: Just WHO decides who the moderators of the debates will be? I assume it has to be the dnc......... Romney and Ryan, take lessons from Newt on your answers, knock them out of the ball park, you just cannot wimp out!!!

Comment by Diane Lee on August 15, 2012 at 8:36am: Really dont know any questions the LSM could ask their idiot to make him look good....economy? NO, jobs.NO, gas prices?NO, etc etc....it would take some spinning off the wall to make obozo look intelligent....he will probably start martial riots before so he wont have to flap his lying lips!

Comment by Dennis Krug on August 15, 2012 at 8:05am: I agree with Mike stop watching PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS and all of their affiliates. I can tell you this much I personally have stopped watching them unless there's just absolutly nothing else on T.V. The same goes for Hollywood boycott movies especially the ones with Alec Baldwin, Saun Penn, Danny Glover, Meril Streep and the same goes for music also HOOK NOSE Barbra Strisan and the rest of the "Left Wing" lunatics. (Name spelling not so good but you get the point). That will do the same thing to their industry as Obama and them are doing to the rest of the Country !

Comment by mike on August 15, 2012 at 6:25am: If the masses would stop watching these networks then they would not always have the debates,so who is to blame ?

Comment by Robert Baker on August 15, 2012 at 6:20am: I don't understand why Romney or Ryan would agree to go on these debates with such biased moderators. Just simply refuse. There can be no debates without them. This sends a powerful message to the media and establishment that Conservatives are no longer willing to play their games by their rules. Show some backbone. Take a stand!!! They will cave.

Comment by Charles (Chuck) Fowler on August 15, 2012 at 3:29am: Thanks for the feature, Darla.

Comment by Elba M. Saravia on August 15, 2012 at 3:17am: The unions are not allowing Mitt in schools, universities, democrats moderators? WHAT A JOKE.
