in tomorrow's debate about the moderator will be candy crowley
and uh... it's a town hall format where
members of the audience to ask the question and candy crowley wood pellet
basically had the mike to the audience back to ask the question
neck and he has recently been on television and video blogs that she
wants to follow up questions and you know if found the phones never ask this
question and you know she would say once an opportunity for me to follow up and
said hey what up acts were out why would a z
anyway i let's go to the tape and show explained why she envisions her role to
be in the sex today
try not about me
and that's why keep
when this is an are you about this or not that i think it's not about yours on
the is what these two guys you can go and thinking you will definitely do the
s_ and he was like parenting
you know if you decide that you're never ever had to do something and then you
find yourself doing after also think it helps when they see past the rockingham
here up in a big lecture
right here in our yard while an f_y_i_ thing which really is william looked
like i was in the room what was that the dillard obeyed him he was another when
was the
mile wide but he's kind of downsizing that
it doesn't that kind of thing does matter things are gonna slip past you
and then what i think they have accepted that like that all is this something
and i bet you do this to there's never a show that goes by there's never a piece
that i write that i don't look back at what happened in bishara don that she's
gonna start asking follow-up questions this causes a big problem with the
campaigns and i guess so what happened is ah... the commission for presence of
the dates which is actually
is not a non-partisan commission
this people think it is right actually had bipartisan commission gap
the whole point of the commission is to make both sides looked good yes and they
don't once a month some journalists rolling off he still has a full-size
came out i think about what
with vigorous complaints about the our candy crowley's comments and they want
in your car and make sure she doesn't ask follow-up questions
they want her to basically be the growth microphone go from person to person
handed over
i don't quite know what the purpose of that is
but they don't want any follow-ups
they wont they wanted the bait to basically be an opportunity for them
started talking points
and this is come from doesn't obama as well as mit romney i think this from the
right
and when i see this from from the left and i must say i'm very disappointed
right well the single people don't understand is the way they used to do
the bates
was the now league of women voters will organize a debates and they would invite
the candidates and they were the ones who pretty much
ran the whole show well as soon as they figured out that we're gonna have to do
a debate every time there's an electrical until election they decided
to take it over a meaning they the politicians for the democrats
in the republicans and got rid of the league of women voters debates
and they decided to have their overbought body which is not not
participate in bipartisan which is not the same thing
it so they decided he was the easiest way what's a format that makes us look
the best that will cause is the most harmful to lisa munna harmony picked it
and then they get to pick the moderator
and the fact is on this story
uh... candy crowley comes out and says that she is gonna ask follow-up
questions
they both the campaigns get wind of it
and they don't know if she's not reporting that we have an agreement so
they don't have a great with candy crowley there have been agree with
c_n_n_ they have an agreement with each other so they're going to make raheem
brock obama's campaigns have agreed what's gonna happen and they didn't even
bother asked the news person that's how much this piece of news
this is emblematic of the problem that we have in america today
our political process and has been completely hijacked is not about having
an honest debate of ideas it's all about who has a better better uh... aesthetics
better visuals better but our optics as they would say
so you have a uni so you need to have a paul candidate you can have that they
can't be short they need to uh... you know looked like a president
it's all about
uh... in a style over substance and rather than having a vigorous debate
where we can understand her ideas we just here they're talking points and
that's did and i can't believe both sides are happy with that and the fact
that they want they
a docile media that never ask any questions no follow ups on the east a
cancer in the news move on that's what they want and that's what they they're
getting to work getting
i mean we never see on the east in the anyone go after
uh... the candidates
it's very very rarely do and when they do is
is so strong
you talking about the news media fold on the job not ask rumpled
politicians' feet to the fires i guess i better
well and i said it before the show the problem is that good news media
uh... the way our system is set up is that the news media is like a check on
power
not only political power but also corporate power right
so what happened was these news people
cap investigating politicians in investigating corporations
and the corporations act i'm so sick and tired of them i'm gonna go by those
newspeople
so they bought the newspeople and then they bought the government so now it's
all being run by one big corporate
uh... it's a good one big corporate monopoly that runs everything rain so
that's why
you get every whatever there is any journalism that happens it's rare
it almost never happens which is why
uh... we have a system that we have so that this is what the stress the
problems of the problem is that the people who was
but don't the watchdog we have the what's the old saying we have the fox
guarding the hen house
and that's with the proper so the people who should be being investigated
actually on the investigators
and that's what we give people like uh...
david gregory and john stossel up against and uh...
and and candy crowley you know i mean i don't know much about caning so i want
to disparage ertl she does a bad job
but it's that
but i'm i'm guessing she will what does this uh... this is one of the other
minds i think it's been going for it i want you guys think about this guy i
wasn't sure
uh... they were saying they waited for of keno moderator to come along before
they jump but them
with this kind of uh... you know i guess is line of attack previous to them doing
that the debate saying
would automatically fall courses source of those other female
journalist x moderators ever say hope she steps up its like a women's rights
thing but they wouldn't do this to a male moderator and say before and you're
going to
do it this way because we need you to dissuade you dennis
at standard on sir
i count on the split is to remain we we'd we just we just had a martha rest
of the last one incredible one side it was attacked her before and xia
if you have is that the rats actually did her job i think she actually asked
kind of such a good follow-up questions
and now they're coming after candy crowley ended the suggestion is that
maybe it's that they would do this to a male they wouldn't have and um... i'm
not sure about about that i mean opinion whether they were due to a man or woman
but
clearly what they're doing is
behaving themselves crowley told paula martha routed yes we did like that at
all yes if you want to go back to being jim lehrer yes
