This isn’t humorous at all. It’s the serious truth.
This is exactly why there should be someone other than liberal media hacks moderating the debates.
Why do the (stupid) Republicans always agree to moderators like Jim Leher, David Gregory, whatever cnn fraud is called upon and the other graduates from the Joseph Goebbels School of Journalism? Why won’t they hold out for someone…anyone…with some degree of honesty and objectivism? Brit Hume, perhaps? Watch for differing camera angles, lighting and close-ups/distance shots. They are also experts at subtle forms of manipulation to make Obama look larger than life and Romney small and petty.
The real surprize is why they didn’t insist on Amanpour or Matthews or Madcow.
After watching the debate, I was pleasantly surprised the debate was fair. Obama was an empty chair and an empty suit with empty promises.
