<<<< The moderator in tonight's debate is a friend of the Obama family. Geeeesh.
Martha Raddatz is the moderator of tonight’s vice
presidential debate. In 1991, Barack Obama attended her wedding. A year later,
her then-husband, now a high level administration appointee and a personal
friend of the president, attended the Obamas’ wedding.
Irrelevant information? Put it this way: If Raddatz were a
judge, she’d likely have to recuse herself from cases pertaining to the Obamas.
We’re not arguing that Raddatz will slant tonight’s debate
in the Obama campaign’s favor — any more than a member of Congress would
automatically vote for an appropriation simply because it helps a campaign
contributor. We are arguing that the public has a right to know the facts about
Raddatz’s relationship to the president. . . . . . . read the full article here, at The Daily Caller.
Point of post: simply to remind or inform the reader of the obvious conflict of interest represented by the host of the VP debate. For some reason, the GOP laid down and allowed the debate hosts for this election season, all four debates, to be moderated by admitted Leftists. While Jim Lehrer did not affect the first debate, it was not because he did not try. In the face of all this attended bias, articles such as this post and the work The Daily Caller has done, are critical in preventing this bias from being a determinate factor in these debates.
