of cnn who chose to jump into the second debate with her own controversy. let me, let me call it an act can you say that a little louder, candy? [laughter] [applause] he did call it an act of terror. it did as well take two weeks or so for the whole idea of there being a riot out there about this tape to come out, you re correct about that. jon: well, joining us now on our news watch panel, judith miller, pulitzer prize-winning reporter, kirsten powers is a columnist for the daily beast, both are fox news contributors. the president really didn t call it an act of terror, but most people have read that transcript or heard the replay of the rose garden sound bite. they can decide for themselves whether he said it or whether he didn t, but, judy, does this effect bob schieffer s performance? i mean, does he jump in with both feet to this debate in the same way that candy crowley
debate at times seeming to favor the president, actually backing him up when he said he called the murder of four americans in benghazi a terror attack the very next day in the rose garden. in fact he did not directly do so. a lot of folks are saying crowley went over the line turning from moderator into an advocate for the president. this morning crowley was clarifying her statement. i was trying to move them on. they were hung up on this one thing. mitt romney gone out and said, first they said it was the tape. then they said it was this. then they got hung up on did he say act of terror or not. he said acts of terror. but you re perfectly correct they took weeks, actually it was short, a month to figure out or at least to tell us and then he got back on, yes, the track. jon: candy crowley this morning on cnn let s talk about it with our news watch panel. ellen rat nor.
evolving events in that part of the world. thank you so much for the time today. we appreciate it. thank you. jon: we will hear more from those two candidates at the debate tomorrow. president obama and governor romney, the ones running for president. but cnn candy crowley will be in the middle moderating their second debate and already there is controversy over how she plans to perform her duty. we ll get into that with our news watch panel. and why hundreds of skateboarders went wild in hollywood.
jim pinkerton is a contributing editor and writer for the american conservative magazine. alan colmes is the host of the alan colmes radio show. they are our news watch panel today to take this issue on. jim, what could possibly go wrong? this looks pretty good from the obama administration s point of view, if you go to the media research center s website you can see that candy crowley appears to have sort of orthodox beltway liberal views on gun control and the gender gap and so on. i think things look pretty good for obama, just like they did for vice president biden last week with martha raddez. jon: alan? i m laughing like biden. jon: you re interrupting like biden. didn t the profile show that candy crowley was likely a republican and worked for doyle or something? i don t see people complaining about that. to get inside her head and try and criticize her before the debate takes place h the agreement which you mentioned,
