Dixon Letter: Debate moderator

I am really disgusted with the “moderator” format of the presidential candidate debates. The moderators are biased. I suggest that the debates be moderated by professional parliamentarians, who will maintain order, read the questions from a random list, adhere to the time lines, cut off the overruns, silence the one not supposed to be speaking (turn off their microphones), and run the debates in an orderly manner, and no follow-ups.
