The Standard points out Gergen’s bias as moderator of the recent debate between Scott Brown and Martha Coakley.
The debate was moderated by CNN’s David Gergen. Near the end of the debate, he had two questions for Brown and Coakley each. After putting Brown on the spot over Roe v. Wade and “climate change,” Gergen turned to the Democrat with his hardest hitting questions of the night.
“Do you think it was right to insist on three people being at the debate?” Gergen asked Coakley. Yes, she did.
He followed up with this doozy: “As you look back on the campaign, do you have any second thoughts on how the campaign has unfolded?”
“Absolutely not,” she said.
How else would you expect a professor of “public service” at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government to moderate? David, you did hear Coakley say there were no more terrorists in Afghanistan during this same debate, didn’t you? Non sequitur much?
