Mike Barnicle is a complete and utter moron.

Diane Sawyer doesn’t count. She worked for Nixon but was a lib.

“Mike Barnicle”

We can always count on the clown for clown advice.

But Mike Barnicle actually claimed that having fair moderators would be a bad thing for Republicans because they would lose their ability to run against the media.

Given the opportunity, conservatives do not want to run against the media, because we're not Saul Alinsky. We don't go out looking for groups to turn into enemies and demonize.

It is in the nature of conservatism to discuss and debate on the basis of evidence and reason, to conserve that which has been proven desirable on the basis of evidence and reason, and to allow individuals to discover solutions to situations that should not be conserved--for three examples of the latter, using whale oil lamps, putting people in slavery, watching radical Islam permeate the world.

If liberals actually wanted to discuss issues for the purposes of finding solutions when solutions are necessary, conservatives would gladly discuss. But liberals do not want to discuss. They want to demonize and destroy, so that they and they alone can have control over society. Nowhere is this more evident than in the media, where instead of discussion with conservatives, there is demonization and attempted destruction. The difference is that in 2015 there are at least two spokespeople, Trump and Cruz, who have decided to "get wise" to this and respond accordingly.

I wonder where Barnicle copied that line from.

Oh, maybe because most good “republicans” Joe, if you choose to refer to them like that, go to church on Sunday morning.

Or possibly are busy getting ready to spend their day productively like visiting with family or working within their community as a volunteer.

But one thing for sure, we do not spend our week sitting with a Communist next to our right shoulder.

Scarborough is correct, but that is partly the fault of the Republican Party, in general.

The Dem Party has been developing that culture in the media for 50 years or longer. It is similar to the Clinton culture the Clinton Machine has been cultivating since the 1990s. They plan for years, decades in advance, while the Republican Party looks for handouts and hope to find a way for the media to like them.

There is nothing stopping the ‘Republican’ or more specifically the ‘conservative’ culture from building influence in the media via cable/satellite and Internet. They just have not really tried.

Shows how little they think of Fox News, then again Chris Wallace is probably a Democrat.

"Let's be honest, is this a comic-book version of a presidential campaign?"

Part of a John Harwood 'question' to Donald Trump during the CNBC debate.

Great question and totally without any lib bias.... NOT!

What’s he raising hell about, he has a show named after him on the most liberal network on PMSNBC, and all the years of hosting it has turned him into the biggest liberal on the program. This is man that said Sarah Palin didn’t have enough sense to be president. The man that has made a habit of making fun of conservatives is entire life.

Hers's the deal. Part of the R playbook is to run against the media. For a variety of good reasons and perceptional reasons that can be exploited.

But even if the moderators were conservative, Conservative's have their favorites. So candidates would still claim bias. A pro Cruz moderator would be called out for bias by the others who felt slighted by that moderator who may be more or less conservative than Cruz.

R's may find their solution is really a Catch 22.

I’m not so sure about “no” or “none”. Wasn’t David Brinkley a Republican?

As if Republicans don't already something to run against, the Marxist Democrats?

Cruz’ description of the Democrat media may go down with Reagan’s “evil empire” quote as one of the most conscience -awakening statements, for the Left, in the last 50 years.

Gorbachev admitted that Reagan’s characterization of the Soviet Union prompted him to reevaluate his political philosophy.
