I don't think the debates should be a mockery and turned into slugfests - but I will guarantee you that any/all media treat the dems differently than the republican field. Hell, the fruity Cooper admitted himself that he would be different. And why? Well, we all know the answer to that one.

CNN's Anderson Cooper will moderate the first Democratic presidential debate this week, and unlike the previous Republican debate hosted by CNN, Cooper said he won't be encouraging confrontations between the candidates.
"I'm always uncomfortable with that notion of setting people up in order to kind of promote some sort of a face off," Cooper said Sunday on CNN's "Reliable Sources." "Look, these are all serious people. This is a serious debate. They want to talk about the issues and I want to give them an opportunity to do that."
Cooper's suggested style is a departure from the GOP debate hosted by CNN and moderated by Jake Tapper in September.
Before that debate, Tapper had said he was "trying to craft questions that, in most cases, pit candidates against the other."
