The activity in question was supposed to be a debate. In debates, the moderator should try not to favor or oppose any of the candidates, though it's certainly appropriate for them to enforce the rules. In this instance, the format was a bit different than presidential debates. Clark was rude in some of his questioning, but I think it was OK for him to push when the candidates didn't respond.Can't agree. Recalling, in vivid detail, the worst part of whatever they're accusing them of was unnecessarily rude and condescending the way this person delivered it. Had that been a candidate that we support being treated like that I have no doubt we would all be pissed at the moderator, rather than praising him only when it's an attack from our side. This is strictly partisan. I'll take a Walter Cronkite, David Muir, Chris Wallace, anyone level headed over this any day.
Not enough of us look at the big picture, I regularly bash on Herdfan for it here but we need to own up when it our side does the same thing.
This was also not the same as debates between candidates from different parties — these were all Republicans vying for the same seat in Congress, so it wasn't a matter of a moderator trying to make "our side" look good, IMO. As well, Kyle Clark is known as a hard-hitting journalist who's been quick to sharply criticize Democrats, including the Governor and Secretary of State.
