The Media Research Center keeps up its war against debate moderators with an Oct. 22 item by Rich Noyes bashing tonight’s moderator, Bob Schieffer, for purportedly having “tilted left in his previous visits to the presidential debate stage.”
Unmentioned by Noyes is the fact that Schieffer has had a lengthy relationship with George W. Bush. As we’ve detailed, the MRC has consistently ignored the fact that Schieffer was a golfing partner of Bush and that his brother was president of the Texas Rangers at the same time Bush was a partner in the team.
If Noyes is going to speciously accuse Schieffer of bias — as per usual, no methodology is presented for determining how Schieffer “tilted left” — shouldn’t he detail all of the bias he’s been accused of, even when it conflicts with the MRC’s agenda?
