Vice-Presidential Debate- Ryan vs Biden
Oct 11, 2012
President Barack Obama was a guest at the 1991 wedding of ABC senior foreign correspondent and vice presidential debate moderator Martha Raddatz, The Daily Caller has learned. Obama and groom Julius Genachowski, whom Obama would later tap to head the Federal Communications Commission, were Harvard Law School classmates at the time and members of the Harvard Law Review.
After TheDC made preliminary inquiries Monday to confirm Obama’s attendance at the wedding, ABC leaked a pre-emptive statement to news outlets including Politico and The Daily Beast Tuesday, revealing what may have been internal network pressure felt just days before Raddatz was scheduled to moderate the one and only vice-presidential debate Thursday night.
Both Politico and The Daily Beast jumped to ABC and Raddatz’s defense. The Huffington Post, a liberal news outlet, joined them shortly thereafter, while calling “unusual” ABC’s attempt to kill the story before it gained wide circulation.
The bias of the media is finally showing itself with insiders spilling the beans. This recent report about CNN – quote from the article
———-
“Amber Lyon is an award-winning journalist who worked for CNN.
She says she was ordered to report fake stories, delete unfriendly stories adverse to the Obama administration (like the Nick Robertson report), and construct stories in specific manners while working for the left-wing network.”

This is not surprising. We all know the fake stories and misinformation they have been reporting ( or factual stories they are not reporting ) about the eligibility issue.

I saw the debate tonight & now that I think about it, Martha did appear to have a conflict of interest. Biden took over the whole debate & she appeared to do little about this until the very end. Then Biden got bent out of shape b/c he said he wasn’t getting equal time. She could have spoken up long before she did & put an end to Biden’s actions. In essence, IMHO Biden was very disrespectful to Ryan.
Later on, a friend of mine sent me this from our Bible.
‘When a wise person debates with a fool, the fool rages and laughs, and there is no peace and quiet.’ Proverbs 29:9 I looked this up in my Living Bible & what was said in there was basically the same. Probably this verse came from the KJV.

Love the biblical quote!
Biden actually got more time than Ryan. Several times, Martha cut off Ryan and changed the subject.
Biden made a horse’s ass of himself with his bizarre sneering, giggling, smiling, often at inappropriate times, extremely rude interruptions/demeanor and finally, outright lies, such as claiming he voted against wars which he voted for, and more. Hardly Vice-Presidential. DEFINITELY not Presidential. He’s the best Obama assassination deterrent available. Just imagine his finger anywhere near the “nuclear button.”

Well, she asked good questions, but: avoided all mention of the Federal Reserve, QE, dollar crash, market manipulation; also failed to stop Biden’s repeated, rude interruptions and abruptly changed the subject multiple times when Ryan tried to answer. Impartial. Yeah.
Why, oh why, does GOP nearly always allow LeftMedia to run these events?
