Crowley boasted that she would do this.
And now, tries to defend her interference.

Sounds like she is an un-named agent of JouroList.
Manipulation has become such a part of the liberal mainstream media that they excuse themselves.
What arrogance and blindness together.
This is the same arrogance and blindness that in Dan Rather looks just like old age.

Next time, the GOP better have the stones to demand some say in who "moderates" these things. If not, they should tell them thanks but no thanks. This time around, the only ones that came close to being "fair and balanced" were somewhat subdued since they were almost comatose.

People saw this as a choreographed stunt because she happened to have the transcript right in front of her. It was actually a pretty clever ambush of Romney who was left exposed because his advisers blew it.

People are so used to hitting their mute buttons when Obama comes on that everybody missed him saying this.

Candy Crowley ruined herself. It really is just that simple. She was there to moderate, not be a stage prop. She has joined the incredibly long list of people who wish they had never heard of Obama.

I never particularly followed her or knew much about her, because frankly anyone on the Cretin News Network is almost always a Liberal hack. I happened to hear her on Boortz the week before the debate and she was telling him in a rather breathless fashion about how hard she was working to get ready. That turned about to be just another load of mule muffins courtesy of the Democratic mascot.

It amazed us that she did not even have the grace to mention this on her Sunday blab-fest.

Defending the indefensible. What fun!

Why is she still employed? How corrupt, crooked, hateful, and totally dishonest can one moderator be? She is despicable!

Does she acknowledge that Mitt Romney beat her and 0bama both in that debate?

Get the transcript, Candy.

Back in the day.....She would have been fired within hours of losing the last thread of credility she had when she butted in and told Romney he was wrong. Crowley was wrong, on so many level.

Any comments from this thing are simply the results of a cabbage and beans diet!

IMHO, between Lehrer and Crow-ley they helped our cause immeasurably.

Surely not intentional but nevertheless they proved our point about the inherent bias in the msm.

Poster #2, I have someone that should moderate a debate, Steve Forbes. He would be so good. And the libs couldn't complain, technically Steve is from the MSM.

Didn't read the article and won't read any articles quoting this ignorant fat cow.

Excuse the double post, but, the debates are a joke. The commission could easily hire professional arbiters who would handle the thing fairly and according to the rules. Or how about the people who moderate academic debate competitions? Anybody but a bunch of Beltway Bozos and Bozoettes--why we have to inject hack political reporters into the process is beyond me.

Trying to 'move on' from a discussion of the biggest scandal of this Administration is not the work of a debate moderator. It is the work of a liberal hack calling herself a journalist.

Anyone honest person who watched the contest would have to admit that Romney faced a tag team of Obama / Crowley.

Hopeless self-delusion - in which she is by no means alone. Most members of America's self-appointed, self-righteous bien-pensant class are incapable of seeing themselves as others see them. They are too wrapped up in their noble ideals and good intentions -or what they take to be such- to retain an adequate contact with reality. Individually, they are laughable, like pathetic freaks and anomalies; but collectively and en mass, they continue to pose a definite danger. These are the people who prepared the way for Barack Obama, who pulled his chariot, and who have stood fast to guard him and assist his goal of "fundamentally transforming the United States of America." These are the people who cannot tell friend from foe. who think Islam is a religion of peace, who are willing to compromise the Constitution to appease enemies and make themselves feel safe. These are the ones who, not knowing or understanding traditional American values, have become their enemy. They have cut loose from the roots of the past - and they are wandering without wisdom in search of their socialist, collectivist new Jerusalem. The Candy Crowleys of America are not themselves what is wrong with America, but they are certainly symptoms of what is wrong. There is no possibility of their reform. They are spoiled goods. The most to hope for is that Americans can regain control of their institutions of culture so that more such people will not be created to attack and undermine the American way of life.

Candy, you lie. The American people are aware that you have deceived them, no cover will be allotted to you.

It is not good when the moderator is a major part of the story

LIAR

Candy will have to put away her new suit she bought for her special night. Maybe she can use this special suit for job interviews.

She wasn't interested in moving things along, except as it helped Barack Obama.

Did anyone at the Newseum ask Ms. Crowley why she visited the White House the weekend before the debate, and why she had the transcript handy?

Liar.

Then why did he say "...get the transcript Candy..." if you had not prearranged it with him or the campaign?

Candy dear, the moderator of a debate should never be part of the story. You made a fool of yourself.

Sorry Candy. I heard and saw your performance with my own ears and eyes. Nothing you can say now will convince me that you were just trying to keep things moving. You are a has-been journalist and you have only yourself to blame.

Actually saw the woman conducting an interview prior to Monday's debate, and it is obvious she thinks her record is unblemished and she did a dandy job. Why shouldn't she: CNN is singing her praises. I USED to have some respect for Crowley, but her arrogant "I will decide if I intervene" and her just happening to have that transcript with her settled that. CNN has already settled itself, going from top of the top to bottom of the bottom (except for clowns like Matthews and Sharpton at MSNBC). They just donut get it and must live in some self-congratulating bubble.

The debates were the Democrats' and the heritage media's undoing. Neither candidate was at all like they'd been portrayed by the Democrat surrogates and the media, but I repeat myself.

Crowley's participation by arguing the point for the President, disregarding the facts and her role as moderator, served as an exclamation point.

Doneski. Fini. No mas. We trust our twitter feeds from complete strangers more than we trust the ''press''.

Candy tap dances, seismographs respond.

I wrote CNN after this saying she only confirmed why I never watch, nor will I ever watch, CNN. Pure liberal bias and propaganda doesn't sell to the majority of Americans. Of course I never received a reply.

She can defend it all she wants. We saw the debate. We read the transcript. We can see her subtle efforts to protect Obama.

In my opionion, she is a fraud.

Sure, Candy; who cares if 90% of the public disagrees?

Maybe, in the future, if you have one, CNN can find easier things for you to do...

Total Obama plant - she was trying to save her "man". I am so tired of the bias press - aren't you guys suppose to report the news not make it or in most cases lately make it up????

Candy-here's-the-transcript-Mr-President-Crowley should be fired. Anyone who believes BHO won that debate with so much media bias is wrong in the head.

I do think the debates are somewhat frivolous especially when these candidates need to go into hiding for rehearsals. However, I feel they are a perfect example of seeing how these men perform under pressure. Not exactly press the nuclear button moments, nonetheless those men are definitely feeling the heat. One, a successful businessman active in his church and his community and a former State Governor was collected and appeared to be up to any task. He was not uncomfortable by snide and sarcastic and angry remarks thrown at him and from a totally biased moderator (CC). In all of that I was able to get a glimpse of how he would behave among World Leaders. The other, a radical community organizer with a background still in question, a candidate who had promised to bring this country together and secure its place in the world and fundamentally change America. Absolutely unprepared for the first debate and as a current American President and a World Leader he looked like a deer in the headlights. The second debate showed me a different man who showed up to fight. This man was rude and totally unbecoming a President and I feared how he would be conversing with World Leaders. By the third debate I saw a petty little man and any person had to wonder how he became President of the United States.
