CBS: Good or bad debate host?

[Lyin' Steve]

And how do they compare to the republican debates?

Frankly I thought that moderator was obviously out to take down Clinton and the livestream was covered in Twitter crap.  Pulling an attack on Clinton off of Twitter and making her respond to it during the debate was a real cheap shot.

It credits Clinton that she managed to clearly win anyway.  Lincoln Chafee would have broken down in tears a quarter of the way through if he'd been treated the way she was.

Excellent, probably the best debate this whole season.

But that's not a high bar considering how big of nixon Anderson Cooper was last debate and considering the circus that GOP ones have been.

Great! The 1st priority of all dem debates should be to be firmly in the tank for Sanders, and this debate was just that.

[I support Sanders]

Last night's debate showed me that the mainstream media is not totally owned by the establishment. CBS may be the most progressive (read: objective, since reality has a liberal bias) mainstream media network.

Pretty terrible. These things are supposed to be debates, not extended hostile interviews of Hillary Clinton with Sanders and O'Malley occasionally allowed to join in.

It must be rough having the moderator not be a total Hillary hack.

It must take a lot of mental gymnastics to not CLEARLY see that the moderator was hostile to Hillary Clinton much moreso than the other candidates. Now, maybe this particular bias makes you happy so you'll overlook it, or you can justify it by her being the frontrunner or something, but it's ludicrous to deny it.

The Sanders supporters are so deranged and detached from reality at this point. They cling to their internet polls and increasingly retreat to their shut-off online communities where anything less than undying devotion to Bernie is forbidden. Very sad.

I got to watch it and thought it was fine - he was rough with Hillary but she still managed to sound good compared to Bernie and O'Malley. She'll be a tough challenger for the Republicans.

My real life friends are overwhelmingly supportive of Sanders, but my online friends are evenly split.

I liked it a lot. Better than the CNN one. Anderson Cooper would never, ever, have treated Republicans that way, and if he did, they would have boycotted CNN for the next decade.

All bias was fully justified. This is exactly how debates should work - the higher you poll, the more the moderators are biased against you.

Fairly good, though not even nearly close to the brilliance of the three Fox News hosts at the first GOP debate. It's almost impossible to ever top the job those three did I think. Like ever. It was beyond incredible.

[Ebsy]

I thought he was quite competent.

[Illiniwek]

Good, but disappointing because while he brought a 2x4 to Hillary, you will never have a moderator as tough in the Republican primary, because the GOP candidates are whiny b*tches.

[bagelman]

It was good, although I hate Twitter, it's going to come up no matter what.
