A Debate Side Note

Frank Miele, a retired newspaper editor from Montana, writes opinion for RealClearPolitics. Today his topic is things he predicted wrong about the debate. I was struck by the following praise for CNN's moderators.

Jake Tapper and Dana Bash may well have been the best debate moderators in the last quarter century, if not in the history of presidential debates altogether. They asked tough questions of both candidates, but more importantly, they did not interject themselves into the debate as biased, erroneous fact checkers.

Good for them, I laud journalism done properly. Maybe there is hope for CNN's turnaround?
