If you have been watching the debates and you have a feeling that something isn't quite right then you need to listen to Rich Lowry and the bias yeah.

Rich what do you think is going and -- Well the mainstream media and everybody else.

Hey Katie has gotten.

Well I think candy made a mistake the other night I don't think she actually.

Meant any harm to admit proudly but the way she intervened and definitely heard and then -- -- -- -- she tripped him up.

And it's not the role of moderator ever in these debates to be the fact checker and she fact check -- Romney in a way that battles are usually.

Wrong and it tells NB a role in to -- when then President Obama said millions of people go to Planned Parenthood mammograms.

So little and and -- truly all I'm saying we're ready -- for -- and it probably is yeah that is actually.

Need.

And that it didn't Rudy Giuliani and studio on gays and they'll.

And I lost -- -- OK well how do you talk about Candy Crowley and what she was doing Candy Crowley and and what she was doing to.

Really tip the debate now you do you think it made a difference so.

A little bit of -- it created at least 24 hours story -- in the mainstream media about how around they got tripped up on us.

And it -- he did seem a little chastened afterwards during the debate as well I know I was gonna say were violently like called.

-- -- be that fact -- she could have said when Obama said millions of women go to Planned Parenthood mammograms -- -- actually in this president Planned Parenthood.

By and large -- -- mammograms at all.

If the -- and -- very -- she could it's.

That like that that you don't want moderator doing that because.

And one somebody's back questions are quite subjective and to then that would be all the moderator would be doing the entire debate is in rejecting it and getting -- his or her opinion about what the facts -- -- you think that she.

-- -- do you think she actually swayed anybody anywhere people looking at that debate and thinking at all.

Well Candy Crowley is right I'm gonna and will be an Obama supporter -- walked intervene.

A Romney supporter -- Now I think and I think that debate -- -- holes was largely wrong -- -- her helped Romney a little bit because.

The post debate polls say even though people thought Obama won by a narrow margin.

But then may have been just an expectation.

Affect.

They thought -- he did better than expected but if you look at at the kind of internal questions who's better on the economy who had a clear plan for the future of the country around the -- won by large margins on on this question so.

I don't think -- Candy Crowley thing it's gonna affect you know the course of American history I think it was unfortunate.

She at the time I think was trying to be.

Even handed because she said okay you know on the surrounding Iran he did mention terror in that initial Rose Garden statement but you're right.

That they kept -- -- -- this idiot for two weeks and then immediately afterwards when she is on her own -- and the debate is or she said look Romney has largely right.

So I don't think this is an instance where she's trying to have the effect she did.

In that moment.

What do you think -- -- the last and debate is coming up on Monday night as a -- policy debate.

Do you think they get into this topic again.

Yes and if we know anything and now Mitt Romney he's a perfectionist he will know more -- -- -- timeline to end practically any human on its face in unearthed.

An -- how to utterly flawless answer is nailed down but today it -- you may very will be the first thing to come up.

Okay well we're gonna say goodbye to Rich Lowry so you can take a call from us yeah.

Yeah actually I got caught in a five minute window to -- yeah no doubt she'll call you can't -- -- well that you haven't had another Rich Lowry then you can watch him and his colleagues on FOX News Watch Saturday at 3 PM hosted by our wonderful Jones got.

Thank god and -- -- were firming.

Okay thank you could -- take a break any back a few seconds.
