Americans know the moderators will favor Hillary

[Willie99]

their world, their lies, their bullshit, their scum is all finally becoming exposed

only the fucking idiots are still in denial


46% of Americans think the the moderators will help Clinton, Candy Crowley anybody?

6% think they'll help Trump

as one sided as that is, it still pales in comparison to the African American vote the Democrats buy every election cycle

the fucking scumbag is so brash, she's actually axing for the moderators to help

The moderators will be probably favor Clinton but it is not because they are liberal. Go look at who owns the networks: all huge, mulinational conglomerates (most of them donate to Clinton, and both parties via Congress).

Big Media benefits from low taxes on the rich, lax media ownership standards etc... But Clinton isn't really liberal. She is just a status quo Democrat. They also favored her in the primary, when her opponent was far more liberal than her. Her husband passed the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (which Big Media loved, especially Clear Channel, News Corp) but most of the Republican Congress supported it with vigor. The media's financial ties to both parties are extremely problematic.

I have no problem acknowledging the media is pro-Clinton. But I don't buy for a second that it is in anyway, "left wing" or "liberal," -- certainly not on economic/labor issues.

Excuses already.

Yeah that's it. How bout your piece of shit party are a bunch of scumbags.

Perfect fit for most libs I know.

 

[The Guesser]

The media is, as usual, in the bag for the idiot Drumpf. No Fact Checking by moderators???? That's their fucking Job. Are you fucking serious, yet that's the way it's going to be, thanks to constant media hammering by the idiot. Candy Crowley is the model for what a moderator should be. The Republicans were so outraged by being shown to be lying by a 3rd party, they won't allow it any more. As usual, the Idiot Drumpf will be able to say anything, no matter how false it is, no matter how outlandish and outrageous it is, and the moderator won't be allowed to point out he's probably Full of Shit, that the facts don't jibe with what he's saying? The media is a bunch of gutless tools, with rare exceptions, who have abandoned their jobs. And yet the idiot Drumpf, and his tools like the Con Man CPA who started this thread, scream about the very thing that brought Drumpf to where he is today. G-d Save America. hno:

HOW WASHINGTON ELITES TRIED TO REWRITE THE 1980 REAGAN-CARTER DEBATE

By: Craig Shirley | September 26, 2016

M

It’s humorous to see the Washington elites today on television climbing all over themselves, all saying that Ronald Reagan won his historical debate with president Jimmy Carter in 1980 because back then they all said Reagan — that actor, that nuclear cowboy — had lost. The liberal elites aren’t even getting the number of debates right, with several saying Reagan and Carter debated three times. For the record, they debated only once. That debate was and remains the most watched presidential debate in history. All the chips were in the middle of the table as polling just before the debate showed Carter pulling even and even ahead of Reagan, despite the woes in the country. The American people simply did not like to throw their elected presidents out of office. Not easily anyway.

Our founding generation prudently knew that the people were wiser than the elites and that they should decide who leads America.
​

The debate between the former California governor and the incumbent Carter became a tipping point for the Republican nominee. Sponsored by the League of Women Voters in Cleveland, Ohio, it was held just one week prior to Election Day, on October 28th, 1980. It featured questions on domestic, economic, foreign policy, and national security issues — all as relevant today as they were in the height of the Soviet Union and the inflation, unemployment and high interest rates of 1980. The word “stagflation” has been created and the word “malaise” popularized under Carter. The Washington elites didn’t love Carter to be sure, but many despised Reagan.

Still, President Carter was anxious to debate Reagan, (less so Ted Kennedy, his primary opponent) as he thought he’d clean Reagan’s clock. On the other hand, Reagan once said that Carter “couldn’t win a debate if it were held in the Rose Garden before an audience of Administration officials with the questions being asked by Jody Powell.”[1] Reagan was that self-confident about his skills and his issues. Certainly, “Deacon” Carter needed better debate skills, and quickly, if he were to spar with the Gipper. But elite America thought otherwise, said otherwise, and wrote otherwise.

That is why, in the 90-minute live debate broadcast on all major stations, Carter pulled out all his tricks. Indeed, his horoscope that day simply commanded “confront adversaries.”[2] And so he did … or, well, tried to. When Marvin Stone of U.S. News & World Report asked Carter to make a rebuttal against Reagan’s opposition to reducing arms control against the Soviet Union, Carter immediately went forward: “There is a disturbing pattern in the attitude of Governor Reagan . . . When a man who hopes to be president says, ‘Take this treaty, discard it’ . . . that is a very dangerous and disturbing thing.”[3] Of course, Reagan’s opening remarks noted that he had “seen four wars in [his] lifetime,” but that didn’t matter to the nervous and biting Carter. Reagan was a warmonger, he perceived, and nothing could change that. [4]

Carter continued to claw at Reagan, using words like “careless,” “extremely dangerous,” “radical,” “misleading.” It was all wrong, wrong, wrong. And still, Reagan kept composed. After one bout of attack against him, Reagan replied, smoothly, “I know the president is supposed to be replying to me, but sometimes I have a hard time in connecting what he’s saying with what I have said, or what my positions are.”[5] There was no accusatory tone, no attacking of character. Marty Anderson, Reagan’s longtime policy aide, once said that he was “warmly ruthless.”[6] Reagan was warmly ruthless many times this evening. At one point, after Carter’s continued pawing got to him, he turned to his right, smiled his famous crooked smile and cracked, “There you go again.”[7] The audience---the first time there was a live audience at one of these events---laughed. But this did not close the sale with the American people. Reagan closed the sale with the voters in his brilliant summation, whose central point was, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”[8] It was in that moment that Carter lost and Reagan won the national election.It was also clear, just by listening to the tone of voice, who the victor was.

At least the American people thought so, as all polling showed they thought Reagan had won and Carter has lost.

But when the debate ended, many journalists couldn’t believe how well Reagan did. So much so, that many declared Carter, not Reagan, the winner. The Washington Star gave a left-handed compliment to the Gipper, only saying he didn’t do “anything stupid.”[9] Tom Shales of The Washington Post said that “Reagan let himself be backed into corners by Carter.”[10] Tom Brokaw praised Carter’s performance on NBC’s “Today” show. Everybody at the Washington Post and New York Times said and wrote that Carter had won and Reagan had lost.

No matter what the journalists said, the American people had a different opinion of who won. Nearly 80 million people watched the debate that night. Of a total U.S. population of just over 250 million, that number was astonishingly high for an era where color television was just becoming popular. There was an immediate effect in the polls. According to Gallup polling, before the debate, Carter was ahead by 8%; immediately after, the Gipper received an 11% surge in support, putting him ahead by 3%.[11]

By the next week, Election Day, the official numbers showed that Reagan beat Carter by nearly 10% in the popular vote, carrying 44 states.

So much for journalistic analysis. As the framers and Founders intended, the elites did not and could not decide who was to lead America. Our founding generation prudently knew that the people were wiser than the elites and that they should decide who leads America. As Francis Bacon once said, “I wonder why it is that the countries with the most nobles also have the most misery?”

One wonders indeed.

The Trump Fact-Checks Are Getting More And More Ridiculous

Politico has found GOP nominee Donald Trump’s characterization of the Islamic State as “unbelievable” to be a falsehood, in what has to be one of the most absurd “fact checks” in the Virginia-based blog’s history.
Do You Think Politico Lied About Some Of Trump's Alleged Lies?
The so-called lie is one of 87 listed by Politico Magazine, which claims Trump averaged a lie every three minutes and 15 seconds over the course of five days. Trump’s statement that the evil carried out by ISIS is “unbelievable” falls at number 52 on the list.“We’re presiding over something that the world has not seen,” Trump said at a rally in Florida. “The level of evil is unbelievable.”

And Politico’s take: “Judging one ‘level of evil’ against another is subjective, but other groups in recent history have without any question engaged in as widespread killing of civilians as ISIS.”

The statement is overtly subjective, so Politico whips up a vague definition of what constitutes “believable” evil and runs with it. It’s unclear what is meant by “widespread killing of civilians.” Taken literally, it would appear to be a false statement, since ISIS has killed civilians all over the globe, including in Malaysia, the United States, Germany, Tunisia, Pakistan and elsewhere.

The Ball-less Wonder Lester Holt let the idiot Drumpf walk all over him, refused to do his job when Drumpf was clearly lying. It was disgusting. Candy Crowley was tremendous, she knew the truth, as evidenced by video, and she fact checked Romney when he lied, and affirmed Obama was honest in that instance. That's what a moderator is supposed to do, not be a doormat like Lester.
