Despite the incredibly biased performance of the moderators of CNBCâs Republican presidential debate, on Thursdayâs NBC Today, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd portrayed his business network colleagues as victims of a GOP plot: âLook, in many ways this was a premeditated attack. There had been some leaked ideas that, you know, beforehand, they were going to go after the moderators and say, âHey, the Democrats didn't get questions like this,â and they determined this before the debate even started.â
Todd made that accusation in response to co-host Savannah Guthrie observing: â...the media was the opponent not on the stage right with them but, clearly, a big part of this debate. Fairly or unfairly, this is a winning strategy for candidates.â

Well, Chuck, what do you think the “moderators” were doing? The candidates were just fighting back.

That would have required the candidates to know the questions being asked before hand. So even if it were true, CNBC gave them the ammunition to plan that premeditated attack since the questions were lame.
The bottom line is these people will throw out anything since they know so many of their idiot supporters will buy into anything.

Is anyone organizing a Fire Harwood or Boycott CNBC movement? Why not both?

“the media was the opponent”
And the moderators viewed the candidates as the opponent. That’s the root cause, and why the candidates viewed the media as the opponent.

Chuck Todd is on NBC -- part of the same outfit as CNBC, which hosted the debate.
Did he declare that connection? Did his host or the other commentator (from MSNBC -- part of the same company)?

You know for sure the lame stream media knows they have been hurt when they trot Todd out to say the lamestream boys and girls were ambushed . . . just minding their own business when the conspirators struck without provocation. I love it.
