Comments on: ABC Conducts Worst Debate, It’s Embarrassing http://pjnet.org/post/1770/ Public Journalism Network Fri, 16 May 2008 21:04:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: David Lindberg http://pjnet.org/post/1770/#comment-4767 David Lindberg Mon, 28 Apr 2008 20:12:57 +0000 http://pjnet.org/?p=1770#comment-4767 The proof of Charles and George being out of touch of the people of this country and what they want to hear is in their responses after they were criticized for how they conducted the debate. They could not acknowledge that they must have done something wrong as the people's comments were overwhelmingly disgruntled. If you can't admit when your faults, you are not as intelligent as you think you are!

So we finally had a couple of journalists that weren’t falling all over themselves to kiss up to Obama. If these were Republicans that were being questioned none of you would have a problem. If you don’t agree, then go read your previous posts and read what you attack the right about. Who a person associates with speaks to who that person is and what they believe. If your candidates cannot answer a few tough questions I don’t think they are qualified to be the leader of the “USKKKA of America”. Wow. Poor Obama and Clinton.

Since when does stupid sensational National Enquirer type questions mascarade as real american issues. George and Charlie are totally "discredited" as so called moderators, they are IMBICILES. I am a 50 year old american who is in desperate need of honest answers on real issues like help with sky high gas prices, my family needs help with health care coverage and I want to know about the candidates positions on the new uptick in killings in Iraq as well as what they would do to make our public schools great like they used to be a long time ago. I wanted them to ask about immigration and what they will do day one on fixing that? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!!! ABC WASTED MY TIME AND THE COUNTRYS TIME FOR NOTHING....NO WONDER YOUR'E CONSIDERED A 3RD RATE NETWORK.... You two embarrassed yourselves and your reputations.Wasting the countrys time for almost an hour with nonsense will make your network irrelevant. And I thought Fox News was a joke!

ABC get serious! This was ridiculous! One of these people may very well become the president of our country. As a result of the moderators (and other media sources) Access Hollywood mindset, people know more about stupid Rev. Wright, Hillary dodging bullets and flag pins which I have never seen any of the candidates wearing, then we do about these candidates views on Russia, China, the Iran and Israel issue and education. These phoney journalists could have discussed what these candidates are going to do about the violence and drug trafficking on our borders, how they would handle an issue with North Korea, if they decided to leave Iraq what would be their plans for Afghanistan. I could go one about the different issue that should have been address last night, but clearly ABC, the moderators were not interested. People?s lives are being impacted by what?s going in the country and Iraq and you want me to decide who I am going to vote based on the garbage that was discussed for 45 minutes on last nights so call debated. There were plenty of other things to discuss other that stupidity that occupied 45 minutes of my life that I can?t get back. These candidates should have been hammered on serious issues and asked to give specific detail on how they plan to resolve these REAL problems. These issues have been address, discussed, and rehashed. The American people are not deaf, dumb or blind we have heard it already. We will factors these things in our decision. It?s time to move on to real issues! I also want to make my decision on issues of substance. This was a big disappointment. Quality journalism is a thing of the past.

We Democrats can't seem to learn from experience. Why wasn't McCain in the program? Read Gibson's past news scripts and you'll find he is a bigger Bush apologist than Tony Snow.

It was 43 minutes into it when they finally asked Hillary about Bosnia begrudging, didn't mention hospital, Peen and her associates, or about pending contrbution fraud case! Then said gun answer of Obama was no answer and continued to interrupt Obama and literally argue with him on tax etc. I will never watch ABC again! I'm for Hillary I believe she is the most experiance, but the non relevent questions from the moderators is sickning!

I am so dissappointed. Obama got the brunt of it. I think that this may help him. I don't think that ABC mean for this to help him but to destroy him.

I was almost screaming at my computer screen. I heard there were eventually over 7,000 comments on the ABC site before comments were closed. What's mystifying is that David Brooks at the NYT said the questions were "excellent." (shakes head) You’re absolutely right, Len. Horrible debate. I was almost screaming at my computer screen.
