(7,113 posts)When he does, I just hope Brian reminds him Newt agreed to take part in the debate, nobody forced him to, so quit being such a petulant crybaby.
In any event, surely Brian Williams is anticipating another anti-media screed by Gingrich and will prepare for it accordingly.

(7,113 posts)Let's hope Brian Williams has this list... and asks Newt a question about it at the debate, just to see if he blasts the media for all the times he blasted the media!

(36,974 posts)Every time the GOP gets two hours of free airtime for a debate then the Democratic side should get two full hours to present whatever they want to show, like a round table of 'only' Democratic surrogates, or two hours of Obama videos, etc
That would be great, but it will never happen

(24,689 posts)The problem is these candidates just bash and bash and lie and lie and nobody challenges anything they say. Many uninformed voters will begin to believe this crap because they keep hearing over and over and the debate moderators dont say anything so they assume they agree with it.
