Conservatives Critique Candy Crowley

CNN's Candy Crowley, who moderated Tuesday night's presidential debate, is being called out by Conservatives for what they see as a left bias. Americans For Limited Government released a statement saying, "Crowley's behavior goes beyond despicable as it was a blatant attempt to influence the presidential election. If CNN wants to maintain any shred of credibility as a 'news' organization, they should fire Crowley immediately for her gross violation of whatever remains of journalistic standards." Of particular note was Crowley stepping into fact check Governor Mitt Romney's statement that President Barack Obama did not call the assault on Benghazi a terrorist attack. Obama said that he had. Crowley stepped in to say that Obama was right (what Obama actually said was that "no acts of terror" will shake America's resolve, so it'd be closest to say he implied it.) However, outrage is going beyond that moment and into assertions that she repeatedly shut down Romney. Glenn Beck tweeted that, "Candy loves to police Romney! As soon as he begins to win she shuts him down." But Alan Schroeder, a professor at Northeastern University and an expert on presidential debates, told CBS that, "It's such a hyper-politicized environment that people are looking to jump on any slight perception of favoritism one way or the other.

The only thing about using your real name is that people these days are crazy enough to look you up online and harass you.

Still, all good points.

In the debate Obama said "Act of Terror", as well...not terrorism attack. Candy Crowley was just confirming that he he did say "Act of terror" the day after.

This is all FOX News Hogwash. The talking heads guarding the inhabitants of Bullsh*t Mountain from rejoining the world of the sane just won't budge. Fox News is a propaganda machine which dumbs down America by the day through disinformation and their slanted agendas. See their anchors spewing forth feces from their mouths in my visual homage to the network on my artists blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot...
