I dedicate the lead of this column to thanking CNBC for displaying its rank liberal bias in last night's GOP presidential debate for all the world to see.
In relative terms, "all the world" is not that far off if you consider last night's audience size compared with the network's usually paltry ratings. The more people who saw this charade from the network's alleged moderators the better for America.
My first reaction as this spectacle unfolded was muted outrage, shaking my head that this atrophied arm of the mainstream liberal media would show its colors so overtly, without any pretense of objectivity, much less any concern about the substantive issues it deliberately ignored.
I was surprised not by CNBC's well-known bias but that its moderators brazenly abandoned any effort even to appear as journalists, if only for purposes of plausible deniability of their bias. Their questions, to a man (and an annoying woman), were silly, inappropriate, small and largely irrelevant to the existential threats facing America today.
Every one of them might as well have said in advance, "We are here to taunt you and turn you on one another with the pettiest and most ridiculous questions, knowing that despite our constantly harping on tolerance and bipartisanship, we have no interest in getting along with you, let alone treating you with a modicum of respect. We understand that our constituents — pseudo-journalists, after all, have constituents, too — hate every last one of you, with the possible exception of John Kasich, who gets a pass because he has admirably announced his contempt for you, as well."

According to the article date this is from the future! Cool! :-)
Yep, that’s a thing Creators Syndicate does with some columnists:)
The questions could have been written by Daily Kos (and given NBC Management, they probably were).
This was supposed to be a ECONOMICS DEBATE. The questions were rigged from the start, like the Fantasy Football question to Bush, which was DESIGNED to generate headlines, and turn low-info’s Bubba’s away from Repubs, violently.
It’s a preview of the 2020 Republican debate.
I couldn’t agree more.

CNBC unwittingly made the Republican field look good. And that’s no small feat.
Maybe he is posting from Guam, “where America’s day begins.”
The moderators’ questions early on could be used as an SNL skit with absolutely no rewrite.
Go have a gander at CNBC’s FB Page. There is NOT ONE comment that’s positive. Most posters have ripped them a new a$$hole!

BTW, while you’re there, please feel free to add to the pile-on!
The clapping and booing audience must’ve shocked the poor dimwitted Lefties who think everyone in the world agrees with them.
Their world doesn't make sense anymore.
“Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.” - William F. Buckley.
Good quote.
