Dickerson Was the Best Moderator Yet

Politico: “The debate season hasn’t been entirely kind to TV moderators and their often-ignored panels of questioners. From boos for ‘gotcha’ questions and angry complaints directly from the candidates — sometimes right on stage — over debate formats, it’s been a brutal run for some moderators (though a ratings bonanza for the networks).”

“The ferret-like journalistic questioning of CBS’s John Dickerson, the moderator of Saturday night’s debate and host of Face the Nation, represented something of an honorable mean between the contentiousness of the CNBC anchors at last month’s unruly Republican debate and the cautiousness of Fox Business anchors at this month’s GOP encounter.”
