For nearly a decade I have professionally covered, among other things, the mainstream media, and in all that time I don’t once recall writing an unkind word about Lester Holt, the moderator of Monday’s presidential debate. That record is about to be broken because last night Holt made the disgraced Candy Crowley look like Edward R. Murrow.
If you recall, during one of the three 2012 presidential debates, Crowley “fact-checked” Mitt Romney with a lie. She claimed that President Obama had described the September 11 anniversary attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, as an act of terrorism. The opposite was true. She would later admit as much. Nonetheless, Romney pretty much melted down during the exchange, and that was that.
