ABC Mangles Debate?
By Jess Todtfeld

Yes and no.

Sure they didn’t ask the “important” questions until 63 minutes in. Sure they asked the gossipy questions first. …but isn’t that what America wants. I think it does. The pundits are the only ones sounding off.

I think Jon Stewart said it best:

THE DAILY SHOW (Thursday April 17)
Jon Stewart: “Finally, 15 questions and 63 minutes into the debate…”

George Stephanopoulos: “Let me turn to the economy, that is the number one issue on Americans’ minds right now…”

Jon Stewart: “Which is why we asked it 16th…You just said it was the number one issue on their minds and you asked it 16th? Although I guess in your defense, Eddie Money doesn’t open the show with ‘Two Tickets to Paradise.’”
