“He was just more forward-deployed with Hillary Clinton than he was with Donald Trump. “It’s not a good day for Matt Lauer,” former CNN Washington bureau chief Frank Sesno told The Daily Beast on Thursday.
(Despite her reputation for political evasion, the great majority of the Democrat’s statements were deemed true, mostly true, or half true, while Trump’s truth-to-lie ratio was the polar opposite.) Indeed, a real-time analysis of the candidates’ assertions by PolitiFact indicated that Trump was a veritable conflagration of “Pants on Fire,” with 44 of his claims earning that worst designation, while Clinton garnered only six. Unlike last time, however, he cannot distance himself from his much-criticized performance moderating the NBC/MSNBC Commander-in-Chief national security forum-in which he appeared to throw fastballs at Hillary Clinton, drilling down on her lingering email problems, while going easy on Donald Trump, allowing the Republican presidential nominee to utter one unchallenged falsehood after another- notably his easily contradicted claim that he never supported President George W. Not since NBC News star Matt Lauer was accused of orchestrating his Today show cohost’s firing four years ago-a widely reported charge that he was at pains to deny, even though Curry’s body language during her on-air farewell seemingly confirmed it-has Lauer absorbed so much abuse from the chattering class.
