Lester Holt Learns His Fate Days After Rigging The Debate Presidential debate moderator Lester Holt came under fire last week after exhibiting extreme bias on Monday night. Throughout the event, it was clear that Holt was in Clintons corner. Holts problems started the very next day, when Fox News reporter James Rosen went after him during the White House press briefing. Rosen asked White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest how he felt about Holts performance. The fact that weve gone through a good 40 minutes or so of the briefing without mentioning Holts name I think is a pretty good endorsement of his performance, Earnest commented. Rosen wasnt willing to accept that answer. He responded with this: So it eluded the presidents attention that Mr. Holt, who enjoys the respect of everyone in this room, this questioner included, nonetheless, last night, pressed Mr. Trump pointedly on just about every perceived area of vulnerability for him, including his early statements about the Iraq War, his refusal to release his tax returns, his role in the birther issue, his endorsement of stop-and-frisk, and his comments about whether or not Mrs. Clinton has a presidential look, but somehow failed to press Mrs. Clinton even a single time on any of her perceived points of vulnerability such as her conduct with her emails, the role of the Clinton Foundation in the Clinton State Department, her refusal to release her Goldman Sachs speeches, her deep trustworthy deficit with the American electorate, her role in the destruction of Libya or the Benghazi attacks. None of those things were pressed by Mr. Holt. Did that elude the presidents attention, that sort of seeming imbalance in the questioning? Earnest quickly tried to retreat from the conversation. I dont think its accurate to say that all of Mr. Trumps vulnerabilities were covered, he concluded. What do you think of Rosens comments? Do you agree?
