Here's a few more op/ed from other press:

The politics of pile-on is going on over at ABC as everybody from Obama-friendly MoveOn to a wide array of TV critics are ripping Wednesday's co-moderators Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos for offering "shoddy, despicable performances" in the words of the Washington Post's Tom Shales.

The Philly Daily News called it "a train wreck," and Andrew Sullivan, blogging for The Atlantic, called it "one of the worst media performances I can remember - petty, shallow, process-obsessed, trivial where substantive, and utterly divorced from the actual issues that Americans want to talk about." Greg Mitchell in Editor and Publisher called it "the most embarrassing performance by the media in a major presidential debate in years." And so on.
