Daily Mail: Democrats accuse Matt Lauer of bias at NBC veterans forum: Liberal outcry over host's seven-minute grilling of Hillary Clinton over her emails as they claim he 'let Trump off' over Iraq war
* Trump and Clinton were quizzed on national security by Matt Lauer during a Commander in Chief forum
* Questioned on ISIS, Trump said 'I totally opposed the Iraq war', despite supporting it in a 2002 interview
* Democrats were unhappy that the remark went unchallenged despite Clinton being grilled over her emails
* Out of a 30-minute segment Clinton spent almost seven minutes answering on her email arrangements
Matt Lauer has been labeled a 'morning show lightweight' by furious political pundits after he failed to grill Donald Trump on his claim he never supported the Iraq War during a Commander in Chief Forum on Wednesday night - but relentlessly questioned Hillary over her private email scandal.
The NBC Today show host was accused of going too easy on Trump when the Republican candidate repeated his claim to have always 'totally opposed the Iraq war', when in fact he supported an invasion during a 2002 Howard Stern interview.

that's a first...Democrats accusing a member of the media for being biased towards the Republicans...
Anon: I noticed that too. They appear to be becoming desperate. While the officially released polls, indicate a tight race I suspect the internal polls of the candidates indicate a much bleaker picture for the Democrats.
In actuality I suspect the real picture for the Democrats and their candidate for POTUS is actually much worse. People have been threatened with career derailment, releasing of private information that reasonable people would not want released, and loss of income for publically supporting Mr. Trump or being part of his campaign. This has led to a situatikn where others who support him are not speaking up publically.
As such, I suspect that are large numbers of voters who are going to vote Trump in the privacy of the voting booth. Hence the need to attack this reporter in an act of desparation.
Additionally, in the case of this reporter, there comes a piunt in time where even Mrs. Clinton's supporters will need to look away from her in revulsion. Assuming her poor health does not do her in first she is headed to prison for a very long time. The thing which ultimately leads to this will be something petty, think O J Simpson.
With regards to the electoral situation "suspect" is the operative word. While I've predicted a Trump victory and am currently standing by the prediction, we cannot "know" the outcome until the votes are cast and counted in a manner that monimizes the risk of irregularities.
In years like this when the economy is not good, the undecided vote mostly breaks for the challenger. This year, undecided is 10 to 20 percent, strongly favoring the challenger in close polling.
