The pundit world is still trying to decide which of the 10 Republican candidates for president won the third Republican debate of the 2016 race.
But it didn't take long for there to be consensus on one thing: CNBC was the night's "biggest loser."
On multiple occasions, the moderators were booed for their pointed questions. And in one of the most memorable moments of the night, Sen. Ted Cruz ignored a question from moderator Carl Quintanilla and launched into a speech decrying the bias of CNBC and the mainstream media.
"Nobody watching at home believes that any of the moderators has any intention of voting in a Republican primary," Cruz said.
With that, here are five headlines and excerpts that tell story:
1. "The biggest loser? The media" (Boston Globe): Writing about the Cruz-Quintanilla confrontation Jeff Jacoby writes:
"It was brutal takedown, and CNBC's smarmy moderators had it coming. Cruz is far from the first conservative to rail against liberal media bias, but he did it about as effectively as it can be done in 30 seconds. The clip of that moment will go viral. It may or may not give a boost to Cruz's presidential hopes, but it will certainly reinforce the public's sense that the mainstream media isn't trustworthy."

Pretty bad when your peers say you’re a loser..........................
In the Bible it says simply...
By their words/fruits vs (actions) shall they be known”
Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. “You will know them by their fruits.
Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?
“So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.…
From NPR no less. However tomorrow they will be forgiven.
Alahwahoo Wackbar!
The Ministry of Propaganda will strike back now, be forewarned.
It was with great joy that I heard the debaters counter attack the extreme Leftist on the CNBC panel!
So we’ve had 3 debates and the consensus loser in 2 of them is the hosting media outlet.
They don't care, they had record ratings.
Not only do they suck, but they’re on a network no one watches.
I’ve been calling the media people “presstitutes” for many years. Look what the presstitutes did to the American military during the VN war, look what they did to W’s war in Iraq, calling him a liar about weapons of mass distruction, he was telling the truth, they weren’t. Look what they are doing in the ME today, look what they are doing to the America we knew. They are not American’s friend. They belong to the foreigners who dictate to the 5/6 companies who own the media. They report ONLY what they are told to report. I watch the Russian Times and the Chinese networks, and get a idea of the news from them. Of course watching them, one must know their news is slanted in their favor. Have many tv spots show the destruction and mayhem the immigrants are playing in Europe? We see it on here, the web.
for later
Al-Yahoo!
Whack-bar.
Rush called them “assasins” today on his show. Their questions were the bullets and the sound system was the gun.
Did my heart good to see these guys tear up the moderators. Never thought I’d be cheering comments from Christie, Huckabee, and Rubio.
That’s the truth; we ain’t seen nothing yet, just wait until Hillary is anointed to the General election, then you will see the full extent of MSM liberal bias, they won’t even make the slightest attempt to hide it, last night was just a preview to the big show.
Now you see some minor criticism of Hillary from the MSM just so they can point to something that demonstrates they are not bias, but that will all go away soon enough, it’s already been decreasing since her Benghazi testimony where they all claim she won somehow.
You are 15 years late. They dropped all their pretense back in 2000.
