Moderator Calls Out Reporter For Interrupting GOP Candidate During Arkansas Senate Debate

Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters. Senator Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) squared off against his Republican challenger, Congressman Tom Cotton, in a Monday afternoon debate moderated by veteran Arkansas anchor Steve Barnes. During the debate, Pryor received some much needed assistance from local journalist Gwen Moritz, editor of Arkansas Business. While answering a question, Congressman Cotton was interrupted by Ms. Moritz and she obnoxiously asked if he was “answering my question about what your job as a candidate is or are you just doing talking points? Is it your responsibility as a candidate to make sure your ads are not misleading?”
