To be honest, he did not appear to be a fair moderator, even though I do agree with his point.

It also doesn’t help when her general argument is weak.
It would be nice to see journalists holding people to the topic like this more often. A lot of crap slips by because it goes unchallenged by the “moderator.” Can you imagine if something like this had been done to Cheney a few years back?
