Scott Pelley’s Awful Debate

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner...-marc-thiessen

Read the above link by National Review. Really 'Nail's it.'

http://taylormarsh.com/blog/2011/11/...-awful-debate/

By Taylor Marsh on 13 November 2011
Scott Pelley was a terrible moderator. He treated the men who might be the next commander in chief like schoolchildren, cutting them off in mid-sentence, lecturing them to answer his questions. He even lectured Newt Gingrich on policy, telling him that killing “terrorist suspects” is “not the rule of law.” Big mistake. Newt smacked him down, explaining that we are at war and in war we are allowed to kill the enemy without a court order. This was CBS’s first and only debate — and it showed. – The Big Loser of the Night: CBS
If Major Garrett hadn’t been sitting next to Scott Pelley and assisting him the entire debate would have been unwatchable.
Mr. Pelley was not only a huge distraction, but his time keeping duty took precedence over actually keeping time correctly. Very early, he interrupted Romney well before his time was up and had to apologize to him for it. It got worse from there, with one cringe-worthy moment from Pelley having him scold the crowd that he’d not accept any booing. The serial interruptions of the candidates, whom voters were trying to hear, bordered on the absurd.

While I don't really agree totally with their assessement of the overall debate performances, I do agree totally that CBS and Scott Pelley did a horrible job of it all. I can't believe they made such a mess of it by accident. Maybe they sabotaged it on purpose? Anyway, I can see why CBS is going down the drain.

I have witnessed all the major T V News outlets are liberal, socialistic, Anti-U.S. Constitution, Godless agenda based....with CBS being the leading culprit.

I can't disagree with you there either.

I wonder that the political scene is so bad, that most people have just turned away, and decided to let others worry about it?

It really has become a big 'turn-off!'

Pelley's mentor is probably O'Reilly. It is with with me or against me. If you are with me, I let you talk all you want. If you are against me, I cut you off. Or simply not giving you time.

This is how disgusting mainstream medias get to. This is what they mean by "fair". These are the "professional" that we are told to relies on when it come to news.

Thank you for the link!

It was "well said" and that idiot from CBS should hang his head in shame and stop calling himself a journalist.

The mainstream media has become such a joke. Unfortunately, they are going to do everything they can to influence this election and make sure their liberal cohorts stay in charge.

That's more true than most probably realize. Pelley is 'out of order' and a Dis-Grace....equal to Nancy Dis-Grace.
