The audience figured it out and booed them.
Last night's debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama was an embarrassment to even half-assed members of the media. Like me.
And it's further evidence that the myth of the supposed "liberal media" is dead.
Moderators Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulis were so consumed with repeating attack points on the candidates that a full 45 minutes went by before a single substantive issue was raised.
You know, those unimportant little things like health care, the war, the economy, the mortgage crisis, etc. Stuff that doesn't matter to the vast majority of voting Americans out there.
All that trivial shit had to wait until George and Charlie could ask about Obama's pastor (has he said anything shocking THIS week yet?) and Clinton's faulty memory of Bosnia (it's been a month now; we all GET IT!) for the first three quarters of an hour.
Because a fucking flag pin is waaaaaay more important to me than the thousands of dollars I spent to get minimal health care last year.
Yeah, the booing crowd figured it out, too.
And there's this, too; via Daily Kos:

Yeah, it really sucks when we don't get to hear the Bobbsey twins of socialism asked the usual softball questions about healthcare that we've heard asked in every one of the previous debates. And evern worse, they get asked hard,embarrassing questions instead.
"And it's further evidence that the myth of the supposed "liberal media" is dead."
Sure it is. One debate where they're not asked softballs and we're now to believe Rush Limbaugh has gained control of all of the mainstream media. LOL
Republicans have been getting questions like this for decades, bud. Maybe you Lefties should just toughen up a bit. Sure,watching Obama bumble and stumble when he gets some difficult questions must hurt but you and he should learn to "Never let'em see you sweat." Not pretty, friend. Not pretty.
Republican always get the tough questions?
I'll believe THAT when someone on Fox asks John McCain if he wears Depends! LOL!
Hey, I just took a look at your blog. At least we agree that China's government sucks. There's always something we can agree upon!
"I'll believe THAT when someone on Fox asks John McCain if he wears Depends! LOL!"
Or when Keith Olberman asks Hillary if she's a lesbian?
Who would have thought that China could bring hope? LOL
Singing "We Are The World!"
Brings a tear to mine eyes.
