Lamestream CNBC Moderators’ Total Debate Fail
Daily Beast ^ | 29 October 2015 | Llyod Grove

People will argue about which Republican presidential candidate came out on top in Wednesday night’s CNBC debate in Boulder, Colorado, but it was pretty clear who lost.

The mainstream media—as represented by the business cable network’s principal moderators, Carl Quintanilla, Becky Quick, and especially John Harwood—took it on the chin as candidate after candidate, to hearty applause from the partisan audience at the University of Colorado, pointed out that their questions were inaccurate, unfair, or otherwise plain silly.

This should rightly be laid at the feet of Rinse Prius who should be summarily fired.

I’m not so sure.

I think it may actually turn out in the American people’s favor to FINALLY acknowledge how bad their media is and how badly they are being served by it.

Priebus may have actually done everyone a favor.

Oh my. A “partisan audience.” Democrats would never do that.

Could you imagine how the Democrat candidates would fold if ever treated to half the nonsense that the Republican candidates are shown?

CNBC has nothing to worry about if its rating and revenues tank, Rockefeller and the Rothschild clans have plenty of money to keep their propaganda machines operating

This needs to be repeated!!!!!! Call and leave that message for him. I did:

202-863-8600

This is no 'accident'. Rush said it all yesterday. The establishment Republicans would rather see Hillary elected than any conservative candidate. And here is more proof they will stack the deck any way they can.:

This coming from the ultra-liberal Daily Beast really is amazing. Is Llyod Grove in anyway considered a conservative? My guess is no since I see he worked many years at The Washington Compost.

I have never witnessed such arrogance in my life. They almost made it unwatchable.

Now think back to the abuse heaped on Trump after the swipes he took at Fox News and at Megan Kelly after the first debate.

Sure looks like The Donald was on the right track after all about media bias and “gotcha” questions, huh?

Why is everyone claiming this debate was a failure? The CNBC crowd and the MSM look like the goons they are. Cruz, Trump and Christie look like heroic MSM fighters. Everybody, to include the puke left is talking about this debate, Twitter is on fire, and the blogs are hot and heavy talking about corn subsidies.

This is fantastic. EVERYONE is discussing OUR topics.

A couple more debates like this and the Democrats will be demanding we stop using their moderators.

Fox News Moderators were the huge losers in their debate, too. I didn’t care for the CNN moderators, either.

So, it’s Candidates 3, Moderators 0 at this point.

Making it clear that the media are in the other party.

I don’t know what has happened to this site, but now even picking up a quote from another freeper is resulting in weird typographic characters in my posts.
