Double standard for moderators


People are piling on the women moderators for not controlling the Democratic debate last night, but I don't remember the moderators of the previous debate, which included two male moderators and one female one, and had plenty of bad behaviour, being raked over the coals this way.

Three journalists from CNN and the Des Moines Register will moderate the seventh Democratic debate scheduled for January 14 at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. The debate, which will include just six candidates, will be broadcast by CNN and live streamed by both publications.

On behalf of CNN, anchor Wolf Blitzer and political correspondent Abby Phillip will moderate, while the Des Moines Register will be represented by political correspondent Brianne Pfannenstiel.
