9/27/16, "Howie Kurtz: In The Last Hour Lester Holt Interrupted Trump 41 Times and Clinton 7," Howie Kurtz, radio.FoxNews.com
"In the last hour, there is simply no question that Holt
repeatedly asked more fact checking and follow-up questions of Donald
Trump and did not do the same for Hillary Clinton. In fact I have some
research here, Holt interrupted Trump 41 times and only 7 times for
Clinton. On the question of ‘fact checking’ questions, there was this
great debate in the media should the moderator do that, did that
5 times
to Donald Trump, for
Hillary Clinton it was
zero.”
–Howie Kurtz on Lester Holtz interrupting and fact checking Trump far more than Hillary at last night’s debate.
Howard Kurtz, host of “MediaBuzz” on Fox News,
stopped by Kilmeade and Friends to break down last night’s
presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and
explain why Lester Holt failed at being an unbiased moderator."

Lester Holt asked 15
questions exclusively of Donald Trump, and only 2
questions exclusively of Hillary. Asked 6 questions of both.
9/27/16, "Lester Holt Asked Trump 15 Questions, Clinton 2 Questions," Joel B. Pollak, Breitbart
"A close analysis of the transcript of the first presidential debate
on Monday night shows that moderator Lester Holt of NBC News asked 15
questions exclusively of Republican nominee Donald Trump, and only 2
questions exclusively of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton....
The analysis, posted on social media and drawing intense attention on Reddit,
walks through the entire 90-minute exchange and notes Holt asked six
questions of both candidates, in addition to Trump’s 15 and Clinton’s
two....
Moreover, most of Holt’s questions prompts were overly friendly to
Clinton’s point of view, while hostile to Trump. In one of the last
exchanges of the debate, for example, Holt strongly implied Trump was a
sexist when asking about a past criticism he had made about Clinton
lacking a “presidential look.” He also introduced the opening topic of
the debate by praising Obama’s economic performance, ignoring the fact
that growth never reached 3% under Obama and labor force participation
has fallen.
Breitbart News noted
that Holt intervened several times to "fact-check" Trump--often erroneously--while never checking Clinton’s facts, even when she was
completely wrong, as in her claim that she had never flip-flopped on the
Trans-Pacific Partnership.
In addition, the Washington Examiner‘s Eddie Scarry notes
Holt asked Trump six follow-up questions, and none of Clinton,
leaving
Trump “having to debate the highly anticipated event’s moderator as well
as his Democratic opponent.”"
