TALK-RADIO HOST
“I want an engaged moderator. I don’t want some potted plant sitting up there.” – Ellis Henican
Unlike last week when Jim Lehrer’s debate moderator performance was widely criticized, Martha Raddatz’s turn in the center seat was praised by most vierwers, journalists and pundits.
But not all.
Conservatives in the media were quick to pan Raddatz as being too involved and for taking too much control.
Ellis, appearing on America’s Radio News Network with Chris Salcedo and Lori Lundin, has a clear preference – he compared Lehrer to a “potted plant.” Ouch.
