It's Time To Get the Mainstream Media Out Of Presidential Debates
September 27, 2016
Daniel Greenfield
 

Lester Holt's actions at the first presidential debate were inexcusable. And also unsurprising.

The day when media lefties were patient enough to believe that the system would work without being this blatant are over. They've been open this election about rejecting even the illusion of objectivity.

The only question is why do Republicans continue to allow mainstream media figures to moderate presidential debates? Lester Holt decided to debate Trump. But you can increasingly expect this kind of behavior from any media figure below a certain age to whom the concept of journalism is a dead and incomprehensible notion. Or rather, to them it means that it's their duty to attack Republicans.

I guess I have a different take, and I've said this many times before in prior elections. Yes the moderator was unfair in questions and time spent. But that should be a real leader's time to shine, to show how they can overcome even that.

The job they are applying for isn't a cake walk. They are going to face tougher questions and bigger challenges than some moderator who asks them more follow up questions.

Bias exists, you aren't going to eliminate it. What you can do is use it to your advantage to shine that much more, not use it as a crutch to make excuses.
