ABC heavies were pitiful in debate Sat. night. I like George Stephanopoulos, but he embarrassed himself on national television with questions plainly intended to embarrass the Republican candidates. Diane Sawyer was no better; she is just plainly still not ready for big-time.

From The Wall Street Journal:

A funny thing happened on the way to the New Hampshire primary: ABC moderator George Stephanopoulos embarrassed himself on national television with questions plainly intended to embarrass the Republican candidates.

On Saturday night, Mr. Stephanopoulos stepped outside the role of honest interlocutor when he pursued Mitt Romney with the issue on nobody's lips or legislative agenda: whether states have the right to ban contraception. Likewise, fellow moderator Diane Sawyer, who asked Republicans what they would say, "sitting in their living rooms," to a gay couple.
