2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI was wrong about Lester Holt.
I expected him to put him thumb on the scale for Trump, but he didn't. He was tough fair and actually held Don the Con accountable.

(54,149 posts)Thing about being moderator is, you have to be moderate. Holt did it perfectly. At some point you have to trust that the voters can see the flaws in the candidates without the refs laying out the final tallies.
I expect Holt to be excoriated by Fox and all its wanna be clones.
