| jazzreport | Posted – 1/25/2008 3:57:44 PM | show profile Having a liberal or conservative activist moderating a debate is never a good idea.Even if you try to be fair you can't get over the perception you were bias. |

| rockyroad | Posted – 1/25/2008 4:17:11 PM | show profile The last debate post coverage with Olbermann tanked in the ratings. Maybe MSNBC is getting smart and letting Matthews do his thing. Agree or disagree with Matthews, he knows his stuff. Olbermann is nothing but a distraction and can only add his particular brand of hate. Maybe NBC will wise up and pull him off sports since their NFL ratings pre game shows has also tanked. |

Ya... thats why Fox News has Brit Hume moderate their debates while former beauty queen Gretchen Carlson claims hes a part of their "unbiased political team" |
| bystander | Posted – 1/27/2008 9:31:19 AM | show profile Are you kidding? Are you kidding??? Matthews is a disaster - recently reined in by his overseers and forced to "apologize" for his own ignorant remarks. . His bias against Hillary has become a national topic and a disaster for any coverage he gives. His anger, vitriol and then inability to take aby come back is palpable. He can give it out but he can't take it - his brand of Hardball is when he is pitching. Go check him on Stewart. He can't handle being put down. He adds nothing to any political debate as far as I have seen. I have given up watching Hardball - and by the numbers he gets I see that many others have also. |

| newfrickinshow | Posted – 1/28/2008 6:46:48 PM | show profile I'll agree with jazzreport A moderate should moderate the debate. Liberals or conservatives running debates could make you appear to be either kissing up or putting out the attack dogs on the candidates. Of course this philosophy would also eliminate Fox News from ever hosting a debate unless they hire someone from outside the network to do it. Of course it would give me a great bit of renewed interest and respect for the candidates to see them actually request it. If the Dems went on Fox News instead of pussing out or the republican candidates were to request Olbermann, it'd make them look a lot less like the cowardly neo-con assholes I see most of them as. (John McCain is the exception) |
