assuming the usual talking head format we see on TV panel type shows with guests from each party That's why I said probably. These things vary. If the moderator has a panelist from each side, my experience is that he usually lets the other panelist do the challenging rather than doing it himself. If the moderator is doing a one on one interview, he challenges the subject. Or if the moderator is representing a side like these "both sides" programs or anything on Fox (Bill, just checking to see if you're paying attention), then the moderator challenges. Otherwise, he lets the panelists' statements stand. What I think most significant, as it pertains to your scenario, is whether the moderator treats sloppy comments evenly or if he singles one out for extra scrutiny. And also if the moderator gets so wrapped up in challenging the blonde that he uses up the entire allotted time on the challenge at the expense of the rest of the agenda. Karen
