Very short observation.

Just watched the first presidential debate of the 2016 election. I’m not going to spend much time commenting on the debate itself, other than to note that those who thought Hillary would wipe the floor with Trump must feel very disappointed right now.

I watched the debate on PBS, and that’s where my greater concern lies. I get most of my “main stream” news from Public Broadcasting, and it’s very disheartening to see the bias of the commenters shine through so strongly and impenitently; Gwen Ifill and Mark Shields in particular being the be the biggest offenders.

PBS The NewsHour has degraded significantly since Jim Lehrer’s departure, mostly, in my opinion, due to the disproportionately high estrogen content of the program.

This election ain’t over yet.
