CBS News finally gets a debate, at Hofstra

bobSchieffer.jpg This just announced by the Commission on Presidential Debates: The peerless Bob Schieffer will moderate a "third and final debate" between the two presidential candidates.

You will note: The peerless Katie Couric will not be doing the honors.

It'll be hosted at Hofstra on Wednesday, Oct. 15. Here are the other details: 90 minutes long, eight segments, each segment 10 minutes long, then Schieffer will "facilitate conversation" between both candidates.

Why NOT Katie? Good question, though Schieffer has done this before, and done it exceedingly well, so his choice is certainly a reasonable one. Katie had been in line to moderate one on April 27 from North Carolina, but it was canceled last minute, making her the only one of the Three Majors to miss out on grilling the presumptives and would-be presumptives. Meanwhile, ABC got shut out entirely this time - a real slap, and one can speculate as to why, but its last debate was roundly panned. Jim Lehrer will moderate the Sept. 26 debate at Ole Miss, and Tom Brokaw will moderate NBC's Oct. 7 debate in Nashville.

Mz Couric has lost all credibility as an independent journalist, that's why she should host a debate. The only reason she hasn't been fired by CBS is they gave her so much money they don't want to admit they were fools. Remember the Bob Dole interview, excuse me, hatchet job. Once you reveal yourself as a dishonest broker of information, you're done.
