Since when is this winger journalist someone reputable enough to host a Presidential debate?

... but I don't think so. The closing remark by Hewitt was not in the NYT transcript of the main debate. Trump's word-salad response was, but the remark by Hewitt did not follow it. Creative editing on someone's part. The Grey Lady has sanitized remarks quite recently (Scalia's racist comments, to be specific), and though it was definitely an appropriate response to The Donald's idiocy, I wonder if FJ added it for effect.
