Watch Out for Shenanigans! CNBC Debate Moderator's Most Biased Moments
News Busters ^ | October 27, 2015 | Geoffrey Dickens

The RNC may regret its approval of John Harwood as lead moderator for Wednesday night’s GOP presidential debate on CNBC if past history is any guide. The CNBC anchor and New York Times columnist admitted he and a producer helped make Rick Perry’s infamous “oops” moment even worse.

...

Harwood’s past takes on Republicans versus Democrats also reveal the potential for biased questioning at Wednesday night’s debate. A Harwood interview with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul was so one-sided it actually caused the Paul to press back: “Don’t you have something better to read than crap from people who don’t like me?” Harwood predicted Florida Senator Marco Rubio would look like a “schoolboy” compared to Hillary Clinton in a debate.

In contrast, he has sucked up to Barack Obama (he was actually impressed by Obama’s ability to swat a fly) and sounded like a House Democrat when he asked the President if he thought his re-election would “break the fever” of Republicans. Harwood also spun for Hillary Clinton as he sought to excuse her use of a personal email server while she was Secretary of State as merely “excessive caution” on her part.

...

Awed that Obama Can Swat a Fly.

hardwood is a true leftist. Republicans are so stupid but they need him to take down Trump. Harwood is one of the most biased reporters I have ever seen. I have to turn CNBC off every time he is on.

Regret? I think not. The RNC has a history of accepting such moderators. They prefer it that way.

That's why we routinely see moderators like John Harwood, but never ones like Mark Levin.

I don’t ever turn CNBC off.
That’s because it is never on. I have no use for it.

Dump all CNBC debates in the future including this Wednesday. If the candidates do not then there is no doubt that Trump will be President.

Can't the stupid party afford their own cameras and moderator?

Cerially!!!!! There should be no expectation of a fair debate when the debate is done by your enemy!

So far, the FOX debate was the most informative and best organized.
