Chris Matthews calls GOP candidates 'revolting' for protesting CNBC moderator bias

The insurgency conducted last night by the GOP field in standing up to biased, sneering questions from CNBC’s panel has stung the NBC Universal (and parent Comcast) empire deeply enough that it is striking back. Ken Shepherd at Newsbusters reports:

"This got a little revolting tonight," MSNBC's Chris Matthews lamented to colleague Chris Jansing in a post-debate special edition of Hardball Wednesday night. Matthews was chagrined with Republican Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) scoring points with debate audience by attacking the liberal media. "I thought that the candidates were trying to get votes, and they were using that initiative to take it out on the moderators," Matthews added, complaining that they were "taking it out" on them, as though the moderators were asking completely above-board, unbiased questions.

This morning, on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, a similar line was pursued, with even nominal Republican Joe Scarborough hewing to the party line that the GOP field was pathetic.

Nice try, NBC. You’ve disgraced yourselves, and the jig is up. Even mainstream media pundits see it.

What is revolting is the fact that Mathew and his socialist ilk have no shame in their game, just look at clips from last nights CNBC debate!

I of course new this was a socialist set up and would not give them one minute of my time watching the debacle!

[ozzymandus]

Chrissie should know who’s “revolting” or not. His leg-tingle love of Obama is revolting.

[The Iceman Cometh]

[all the best]

How dare anybody stand up to the leftist media establishment! Revolting.

The MSM is the enemy and that includes Mathews. All the candidates need to take it to the media like Cruz did...he changed the whole course of the debate last night and won it hands down.

[EagleUSA]

Mathews is a great poster child for the radical left DemocRat party. Pure stupidity, pure anti-American, and totally devoid of ethics, shame, objectivity. And this DemocRat hack gets paid for what he does....amazing. They will do ANYTHING to take focus off of Hitlery and her crimes....

Then let Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter run the Democratic debate.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO "TINGLES"

“I thought that the candidates were trying to get votes, and they were using that initiative to take it out on the moderators,” Matthews added,

Um, Chrissy, it got them votes.
We see what you are and we’re not going to take it.

[Dan in Wichita]

And just to think, on one occasion back in the 1990’s, Rush Limbaugh had Matthews sub for him on his radio show.

[SandRat]

Well,... we call you CHRIS MATTHEWS REVOLTING!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Pretty big words from a major league Douche Bag!

[Gay State Conservative]

Then let Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter run the Democratic debate.

They'd be excellent but I think Mark Steyn would be even better.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Mark Steyn and Mark Levin

[SteveinSATX]

matthews: “Republicans, conservatives suck!, no good!, evil!, warmongers!, racists!, homophobes! haters!”

everyone: “you liberal!”

matthews: “how dare you label me!”

[Obadiah]

Chris Matthews — former Democrat staffer, now part of the corrupt MSM

Chuck Todd — former Democrat staffer, now part of the corrupt MSM

George Stephanopoulos — former Democrat staffer, now part of the corrupt MSM

See a pattern here? Others whom I haven’t listed?

[TTFlyer]

That’s right, Chris. They were “revolting” all right. But not in the way you think, moron.

[Iron Munro]

There ia absolutely nothing that pis*es off a foaming-at-the-mouth liberal more than conservatives using actual facts to criticize their leftist bias.

"The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don't trust the media," he told the CNBC panel.

"This is not a cage match. And you look at the questions: Donald Trump, are you a comic-book villain? Ben Carson, can you do math? John Kasich, will you insult two people over here? Marco Rubio, why don't you resign? Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?

"How about talking about the substantive issues people care about?" he said. Again to a round of applause.

"I'm not finished yet. The contrast with the Democratic debate where every fawning question from the media was, 'Which of you is more handsome and wise?'

"And let me be clear," Cruz added. "The men and women on this stage have more ideas, more experience, more common sense than every participant in the Democratic debate.

"That debate reflected a debate between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks," he said. "And nobody watching at home believes that any of the moderators have any intention of voting in a Republican primary."
