Bias alert!

Matt Lauer is listed as a “notable past member” of the Clinton Global Initiative which apparently makes him the obvious choice as an unbiased moderator for the upcoming forum featuring Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Held in New York City on September 7, the Commander-in-Chief Forum will be hosted by NBC News, MSNBC and the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. According to The Daily Caller, the one-hour forum will center on national security, veterans issues, and all things military. It’s not a debate, as candidates will take turns back-to-back.
As is noted by the DC, the Clinton Foundation has said in the past that journalists were exempt from paying the $20,000 membership fee and would be considered “guests” rather than “members,” according to foundation officials.
The Freedom Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Therefore we do not endorse political candidates either in primary or general elections. However, as defenders of America’s social contract, we insist that the rules laid down by both parties at the outset of campaigns be respected, and that the results be decided by free elections. We will oppose any attempt to rig the system and deny voters of either party their constitutional right to elect candidates of their choice.
