Watching Bloomberg, and I suspect other outlets, while there is a consensus that Hillary "won" the

debate, the whole posture seems rather subdued. Maybe that is just me, however, I suspect if Hillary had not done well, they would be ranting about it in explosive terms 24/7.

What this shows, in my view and what the debate last night demonstrated is that it will be up to Hillary and the campaign to do the job that the media refuses to do. Actually provide information on both candidates

That's fine, and it is what needs to be done anyway, but it does highlight the double standard in this election
