Presidential "debate" moderators: Jim Lehrer, Gwen Ifill, Bob Schieffer, Tom Brokaw

The four moderators for this year's only presidential "debates" have been selected and they're, of course, four mainstream media hacks. Jim Lehrer of PBS NewsHour will moderate the first presidential debate, Tom Brokaw of NBC News the second (in a townhall format), and Bob Schieffer of CBS News the third. Gwen Ifill of the NewsHour will moderate the only vice-presidential debate.

The audience at the townhall debate will be selected by Gallup and will come from the Nashville area. Some questions from the internet may also be included.

Don't, however, expect any tough questions - especially about immigration - to be asked. The only way questions like that are going to be asked is by citizens doing it themselves by going to public events, asking tough questions on videotape, and then uploading the responses to video sharing sites.
