Meanwhile, Reince ripped Hillary for not smiling enough.

However no comments on Trump's perma-scowl bewildering diatribes full of fire and doom.

all the reviews are panning Matt Lauer's skills, that he gave Trump softballs and never confronted him about a myriad of misleading answers. Meanwhile Hilary got the burn about her email scandal for 10+ minutes. Liberal media my ass.
The media seems to be bending over backwards twice to prove they aren't biased towards Hillary.
Each of these debates needs a real time fact checker on stage to interrupt when anyone tells a whopper

By far the most irritating thing about Trump every question has me or I in it. He never says I'll work with or my cabinet. Even his recent I'll give the Generals 30 days to give me a plan to defeat ISIS.
Trump is an extreme top down leader which can be good because they tend to get stuff done but we've all seen top down managers get stuck over silly things too.

Have you ever heard of mission-type tactics?

And yes, by all accounts that I have read, Matt Lauer was absolutely terrible, and I have the distinct feeling Matt Lauer actually was doing what he did on purpose, with certain motives.

Yeah, he's fucking loaded so of course he wants more trickle down.

To give Trump false confidence before the debates? He hangs out at child rape island with Bill Clinton and Trump?

Matt Lauer is a low tier interviewer, he's a lets have some laugh's morning show guy. Him not doing well isn't surprizing.

So then why grill the shit out of Hillary on topics not related to the stated purpose of the forum?

Other interviewers have called out Trump when he lies. Why didn't he want to emulate them?

Because he's a morning show guy, he's a good looking dummy. He was prepared for email questions and not prepared for a stream of thought from Trump.

He was prepared to ask Trump about his false claim that he was against the Iraq War but wasn't prepared to follow up when he made the false claim again?

Sorry, but I'm not convinced this hatchet job can be chalked up to stupidity.
