2. Teddy Kraphole, definetely the worst Corporate Media Whore moderator |
|
When Dennis called him on his mouthjob to Corporate America and got a standing ovation it put corporations on notice that we are watching. That's one reason they had to take down Dean - he was saying on TV he'd break up the media monopolies. Oops, can't have that.

Not only have they aired far too many of them, but at least one of them, they cut off entirely because the candidates spent more time attacking Junior than they did each other.

4. Today's was particularly bad |
|
the NY Times woman is a shill and so is her counterpart. They sounded like Karl Rove or Ed Gillespie questioning the candidates and turning the conversation to what a great leader Bush is. It was sickening.

5. I thought, they hung in there as a party but got across their |
|
differences very well.
It was one of the better...more exciting ones. Hey but that is just my opinion.
They certainly covered more issues.

I didn't think that anyone could come from behind to beat out Judy Woodruff's embarassingly bad performance, but I was wrong. This thing was hysterical. The candidates did fine. They were forced to take the reins, though, because there was no one driving the wagon.

19. Judy is so stiff and unexciting is she not? |
|
She's had lots of plastic surgery and comes across as plastic. She pretty old is she not?

18. I have come to the conclusion that the propaganda people in the |
|
White House are supporting these stations to get out their message...using our public money. How else can they stay on the air?

To me, the worst debate was the ABC debate... It started off wrong and it never got much better. I couldn't believe they started by asking the candidates to raise their hands if they thought Dean could win after recieving Gore's endorsement the day before... Kucinich, Sharpton, and Mosely-Braun all faced leading questions that assumed they'd drop out. I heard ABC wanted to inspire a little contreversy to make the debates more interesting but I completely disagree with the way in which they did it.
A close runner up, would be the FAUX news debate... While I say this primarily as a Clark supporter, for any Democratic debate to be done on FAUX News is just stupid... Let's have a whole bunch of Repugs ask questions of Democrats running for President so that it can be broadcasted to a largely hostile TV audience? It's almost like having Bob Dole and Robert Novak commenting on Dem primary returns... Why give those windbags the time of day, let alone airtime to talk shit about our candidates?
That's my take...
Best, Mike

that Ted Koppel and Larry King were the worst of all the anchors but really there are no winners that I can think of. A couple of the early debates were OK. It seems like they've gotten progressively worse though... Scott
