Fact-checks and analysis on the Senate debate

The Globe provided fact-checks and analysis on the third Senate debate between Senator Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren in Springfield.

7:59 p.m. | ANALYSIS: A lot of the sniping over turning over client lists and other personal issues did not make it into this debate, which stuck largely to policy.

Comments

The main winner of this debate was the electorate because for the first time a moderator actually controlled the time allotments allowing for a constructive discussion of the issues! Number one star to the moderator!

I agree with the previous blogger except for one important point. The moderator FAILED TO CONTROL the crowd. Personally, I am tired of moderators who afraid to do what is necessary to stop crowd cheering and jeering for either side. This is upsetting to the candidates and the TV audience. --This is a DEBATE, not a campaign rally. Simply, the audience should be given a WARNING. No loud applause, cheering or jeering. People who do so should be EXPELLED from the hall.

Why does this "fact check" article read like it belong on the editorial page?  The search for fair reporting continues!!!!
