How shameful our news media has become , anyone that watched that "debate " would have to agree that the "Moderators" ......What a Joke !, presented themselves and their questions like pure idiots . I must make myself a promise to never watch these fools again . I am glad that the candidates finally rebelled against the partisan idiocy as one !
The liberal medias are corrupt. Easy to see in the debts.
I like how Ted Cruz gave the so called journalist a blast of truthfulness about themselves. He won the debt on that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMaVMfvoXJ0
All in all, I think the candidates did very well with the stupid questions they were asked by firing back on important issues. They held their ground. They told the truth about the Obama Administration, Kerry and Clinton (s) and the corrupt government. They presented great ideas which would all be better than all of Obama's failed policies. They put the truth out there about what will happen of Hillary is president, and it would be much worse.
I expected this out of the liberal media again. Clowns. Scumbags!
Added: Can you tell that it got me a little heated?
Blood pressure is fine now.
The debate was rather interesting to watch for the reasons you stated. You could really sense the deep desire to trip up the candidates, demonize them, shame them, and the attempt to get them to go after each other. Kasich took the bait quite handily, but maybe it was good overall, because it opened up the eyes of the other to the "game" going on. It was a classic moment when Cruz finally shed light on all that was going on, in the way he did. It was very telling on the faces of the moderators.
As much of a bomb as it turned out to be for CNBC, I still felt a little bad for the moderators in case they weren't on board with the line of questioning they received because it was so badly written and not fact checked, etc. So much time had to be wasted saying things were not the case, not true, and just slime ball tactics overall. When a question came that wasn't like that, it was almost like a breath of fresh air to just get a legitimate question.
Notice too, that they seemed to think the questions were just more statements or indictments against a candidate that could not possibly be "countered" with anything. WHEN the candidate did try to counter, they didn't want to hear it, lol. It was very transparent. It was like the questions weren't questions, they didn't want the candidate to right them on their wrong statements or behaviors.
It was great to see it be turned on its head, rightly so. Again, this is how truth and reason and logic and morals work together to always come out on top. Everything else must take a back seat to those things, so anyone on the wrong side is bound to be embarrassed. That makes sense.
Some of the most insulting questions asked by the liberal media last night at the GOP debt.
'Are you a comic-book villain?'
'Can you do math?'
'Will you insult two people over here?'
'Why don't you resign?'
'Why have your numbers fallen?'
They actually asked these questions. That's amazing when there are political issues that should be asked of people who are running for president. Issues that people care about.
That's the liberal media and the Washington cartel. .
Absolutely ! And the sad part ; voting liberals cannot see through the Bull****, It is a very dangerous political atmosphere when a people cannot decide for themselves , where, what ,and why the real issues of America are totally ignored , by a "free " media . Talk about a half a**ed sense of vigilance to truth .
The Republican National Committee sent a letter to NBC News. They will be losing a lot of money, but I suppose they are getting paid off well by liberal supporters like Soros.
"I write to inform you that pending further discussion between the Republican National Committee (RNC) and our presidential campaigns, we are suspending the partnership with NBC News for the Republican primary debate at the University of Houston on February 26, 2016. The RNC’s sole role in the primary debate process is to ensure that our candidates are given a full and fair opportunity to lay out their vision for America’s future. We simply cannot continue with NBC without full consultation with our campaigns.
The CNBC network is one of your media properties, and its handling of the debate was conducted in bad faith. We understand that NBC does not exercise full editorial control over CNBC’s journalistic approach. However, the network is an arm of your organization, and we need to ensure there is not a repeat performance." ...

On Sirius Radio news programs , I can instantly tell which party affiliation they are ! Serious , objective , moral , ethical news reporting is a thing of the past . "Selling Newspapers ", is more important than truth ever was to the media ? But hey , we keep "buying it "!

The current debate format is a farce and is nothing more than a slug fest that we watch. The moderators have little to no control over the debaters. John Donvan has a petition that proposes change the current format to the Oxford style format where the debates are done in a civil manner...

Of the four 2012 debates who do you think was the best moderator? Why?Do you think the moderators should be more neutral rather than pro a certain political party or candidate in future debates? It is my belief that the moderators tried to stay somewhat neutral, but at least one was blatantly...

In my usual morning news media fix , I clock on to CBS , CNN , MSNBC , The Hill , Fox , the Drudge , ABC , . One would have to be a total moron to not be able to read into today's news media as a collective choral game of truth charades . The sub-headlines almost all...

Is anyone else here feeling pretty much turned off by the elitist moderators on HubPages?Their explanations for allowing some questions to stand and banning others are beyond lame. Then there is that "thing" of banning decent people without explanation and choosing not to respond to...

Why is the liberal media making such a big deal about the sequester cuts?They are not cuts, but a lessening of the rates of increase.

Good for him , that's what everyone should do with the very twisted liberal media ! Perhaps then they will neutralize there sense of honesty, accuracy , integrity and fairness !
