At the end did Gibson say the crowd changed on him
there seemed to be heckling when he and George were talking after the debate. It was only for a second.

Did anyone see it?

1. I hear it, they were pissed and booed LOUDLY when he announced...
...another commercial break. Also, I think at least half the audience and maybe more were REALLY pissed at the bullshit questions.

9. It was ONLY on that live stream from ABC and it went on about 4-6 seconds.
Check out reply #4 for a bit more complete of a description.

2. Good...they collectively did the worst job of moderating I've ever seen
and it wasn't just the first 45 minutes, which will go down in history as the more inside baseball, tabloid-driven waste of time ever. When they turned to issues, they were both rude and impertinent. Fucking Charlie Gibson acted as if raising the precious capital gains tax was tantamount to taking food out of the mouths of starving babies. The whole thing was unreal.

5. Agree. It was the worst I've ever seen, too. I imagine there are high school
debaters who could have asked more pertinent questions.

4. Yes! And it seemed it was in response to their spin about Obama.
Gibson had just finished doing a short post-debate analysis with some commentator -- and between the two of them, their takeaway from the ENTIRE debate was that Clinton "had certainly raised a lot of questions about Obama... certainly a lot of unanswered questions...." (pure horse-hockey) -- then Gibson announced they were going to commercial, and that's when quite a few in the crowd started shouting at him.
