Plus, guys, debates totally don’t matter, as Twitchy reported this morning.
NYT"s Gail Collins: "Do debates really matter? The experts say that, barring total disaster, the answer is actually no. "

Nothing to see here! And Obama didn’t lose or anything. The real problem? Not enough political advocacy intervention by the media. Totally moderator Jim Lehrer’s fault.
I hope Jim Lehrer gets the license plate of the truck that drove over him in this debate

While he was roundly mocked last night, the lapdog media is taking it one step further in a desperate bid to spin for President Boyfriend. He lost the debate in Denver last night, you see, because Lehrer failed to do his job as Obama prop-upper.
Watch every last media clown blame Lehrer for Obama losing this debate.

And blame, they do!
PBS" Jim Lehrer gets a beating from Romney, then from #media critics, via @poynter. #debates http://t.co/iFmR7ATH

Obama"s media fans have a scapegoat. Moderator Jim Lehrer let Romney talk too much. That"s a pathetic excuse for Obama"s bad performance.

Jim Lehrer did a solid job specifically because he stayed out of the way. His critics are just partisans ticked off at the results (1/2)
— David Sirota (@davidsirota) October 4, 2012
Apparently, Lehrer"s crime is that he didn"t live up to the Broadcast News ideal "never forget, the media is the real story." (2/2)

Why moderator Jim Lehrer might be getting worse #debate reviews than President Obama: http://t.co/MhN9U8qH

And, as Twitchy reported, lying liar Stephanie Cutter followed the lapdogs’ lead and jumped on the blame Lehrer band-wagon as well.
This is what desperation looks like—>"Obama"s Cutter takes swipe at Lehrer" http://t.co/ZPU3ff8Z via @POLITICO

More desperate blame-gaming:
Did Jim Lehrer Lose Control of the Debate? Yup. http://t.co/bJNA3zXZ

How moderate /centrist media of PBS/Lehrer disastrously failed democracy in post-truth,asymmetrical polarized enviro/ http://t.co/giOCzAAr

Exhibit A in case for getting rid of Commission on Presidential Debates and its lame moderators. @thenation @edshow http://t.co/cKRw6y1M

that"s not my judgment — why do we need More Moderator in a debate between 2 candiates? @thehill @aliciacohn
— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 4, 2012
Why, indeed? “Just a blogger” Ace of Spades takes the “real journalists” to task. In glorious form.
You"re whining that Lehrer didn"t prop up Obama enough (though he did help him with a line) and didn"t protect Obama @thehill @aliciacohn
— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 4, 2012
Is the media making the case that at the next debate, what is really needed is More Candy Crowely?
— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 4, 2012
What is the media saying when they complain Lehrer didn"t "control" the debate? What, control it to make sure Obama doesn"t get hurt?
— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 4, 2012
The media doesn"t have enough unearned influence spinning stories after the fact? Now it has to "control" debates in progress?
— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 4, 2012
The two men argued back and forth. Both allowed the other to speak. Obama spoke 5 minutes MORE. But the media says: Not enough "control"!!!
— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 4, 2012
Because the outcome was not as you wished it to be? The media needs to "control" the outcome?
— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 4, 2012
Bingo. How can they push false narratives without controlling them? And, clearly, President Obama is an incompetent buffoon when left to his own devices. How dare Lehrer fail to “control” by propping Obama up?
Ace of Spades ends with a brilliant suggestion.
You know what would be a real c***sucker move by Romney that would really hurt Obama?
— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 4, 2012
Let"s say Obama gives one of his two minute canned answers. Now it"s Romney"s time to talk. Obama is happy that his time is over.
— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 4, 2012
What if Romney says, "Please, you may continue, I want to hear the fuller argument so we can have a full debate"? What does Obama do?
— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 4, 2012
I think he wouldn"t know quite what to say and would start rambling in search of a point.
— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 4, 2012
I think I"m a genius. Think of the power of the "No, do please go on" gambit, when your opponent only planed 2 minutes of canned answer.
— iLoveScienceSexually (@AceofSpadesHQ) October 4, 2012
Genius, indeed. Make it happen.
Lapdogs: Problem with debate was not enough media control; Ace destroys
