The Romney/Ryan debates are set, and as usual, the liberals have had their way and will do all the can to give an advantage to Obama, without overtly appearing to do so...
While many focus on combating liberal voter fraud in the upcoming election as the means to ensure we have a fair election, the sad reality is that even if that were accomplished, we will never have a truly fair election until we demand a fair and balanced media. This stacked deck shows we are nowhere near that goal yet. Whoever can do that for the American people deserves the Nobel prize given to Obama.

Newt could have done it, but he'll be sitting stage right.

P.S. Jim Lehrer, really?
The moderators for the nation’s 2012 presidential debates were picked
by a progressive liberal panel of Washington establishment figures, dubbed the
Commission on Presidential Debates.
The four debates are important because they can shape opinions among
the late-deciding voters whose ballots will likely decide the election
in swing-states, including Florida, Virginia and Ohio.
Each of the chosen moderators work for establishment media outlets or for government-funded media operations.
The establishment journalists are CNN’s Candy Crowley, ABC News’
Marth Raddatz and CBS’ Bob Scheiffer. Jim Lehrer works for PBS, which is
supported by the government.
The locations were also chosen by the progressive-skewed commission.
Three debates will include President Barack Obama and Republican
candidate Mitt Romney. One debate will feature Vice President Joe Biden
and Rep. Paul Ryan.
The commission’s nine-member board include Antonia Hernandez, a
former president of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Eduction Fund
and a member of the progressive American Constitutional Society, and
Howard Buffett, the son of billionaire Obama-booster Warren Buffett.
The group also include Richard Parsons, a former chief of Citigroup
and a long-standing friend of Obama, and John Jenkins, the president of
Notre Dame who invited Obama to speak at the university in 2009 despite a
firestorm of criticism from orthodox Catholics.
The commission’s members also include Dorothy Ridings, president of
the progressive-leaning Council on Foundations, and Newton Minow, the
progressive-leaning former chairman of the Federal Communications
Commission.
The two most prominent Republican members of the board are both
social liberals — former Sens. John C. Danforth and Alan K. Simpson.
The executive director is Janet H. Brown, a former White House official.
The two co-chairs are Michael D. McCurry, the former spokesman for
President Bill Clinton, and Frank J. Fahrenkopf, the current president
of the casino trade group, the American Gaming Association. Fahrenkopf was chairman of the Republican National Committee a quarter of a century ago, from 1983 to 1989. Both Fahrenkopf and McCurry work for lobbying firms.
Romney’s campaign declined to comment about the political tilt of the
reporters. “Debate moderators are selected by the Commission on
Presidential Debates,” said a statement from Ryan Williams. “You should
check with them for questions.”
Commission director and spokeswoman Janet H. Brown declined to respond.
Lehrer will moderate the first presidential debate on Oct. 3, from
Denver. CNN’s Crowley will moderate a town-hall style event on Oct. 16
in the very blue state of New York and CBS’ Schieffer will run the third
debate on Oct. 22, from Florida.
Raddatz will moderate the vice presidential debate on Oct. 11, from Danville, Kentucky.
