Batting lead-off on the post-Democratic debate coverage of their respective networks late Sunday, CNN’s Jeff Zeleny and FNC’s Ed Henry couldn’t have offered a larger contrast as Zeleny gushed that Hillary Clinton “pretty much dominated” Bernie Sanders on “the issues” while FNC’s Ed Henry observed that it was Sanders who “dominat[ed] the agenda” with “his best performance so far.”

Asked by CNN host Wolf Blitzer for this initial thoughts, Zeleny explained that exchanges between the candidates on gun control, health care, and Wall Street were most crucial but he “was struck” most in the debate by Sanders being “for the first time was on the defense.”
