Let's dismiss the myth of liberal media bias. The CNBC debate was perfectly fair. Harwood, as well as the other debate moderators, has earned the wide respect he has achieved in his career. America is not Vladimir Putin's Russia, where “debates†are controlled by party hacks and journalists are corrupted by money, seduced by power or intimidated by threats.

NBC/Wall Street Journal poll: Do they really, REALLY expect anyone to believe this? I think they overreached on this one and exposed themselves.
Every premise above is a lie. Invert them and you have the truth.
Brent just about creams himself with giddiness when he writes about Hillary. He’s about as effusive in his adoration of her as Lanny Davis.
I’m curious as to why he’s even point out the polling numbers of Sanders vs. Trump or any other GOP candidate. As shown by his craven bootlicking of Hillary during the lovefest disguised as a debate, it’s quite clear Sanders is running for VP.
“..Let’s dismiss the myth of liberal media bias...”
They live in another world. They believe what they WANT to believe ignoring reality. And it is always the ones that are being paid to spray this tripe on the public....otherwise they would starve to death.
What is it with these libs in constant self-denial to what’s painfully obvious to everybody and anybody with at least one good eye and a hearing aid with a half dead battery?
Bernie is not even going to beat a moribund, distrusted, disliked Hillary Clinton with an indictment hanging over her head.
That looks like Herman Munster’s 50th. Class Reunion photo.
Dear gawd, people who can look you in the eyes, and lie.
The only reason they’re alive is because it’s not legal to shoot them yet.
Budowsky is more than a “hack”. The crusty, old fart is a Marxist.
Kinda look like this guy:
To libs “fair” is what THEY think it should be.
Brent budowski is a red. Not cause he’s a commie,because he’s hitlary’s tampon.
There is nothing wrong with asking fair and tough questions as long as they are presented in a fair and honest manner, and not preceded by personal attacks, gotchas, lies, etc.
Here are some of the previous debate questions, which are based on a dishonest manner.
- “What’s your biggest weakness?”
- “You want to bring 70,000 pages to three.. is that using really small type?”
- “Why not slow down, get a few more things done first or least finish what you start?”
- “Does your opposition to it show that you’re not the kind of problem-solver American voters want?”
- “Is this a comic book version of a presidential campaign?”
- “When you look at him [another candidate], do you see someone with the moral authority to unite the country?”
- “I just wondered why you think we should hire you now?”
- “Why should the voters believe the promises that you’re telling them right now?”
- “..it raises the question whether you have the maturity and wisdom to lead this $17 trillion economy. What do you say?”
Here are some of the statements made to preface some of the questions:
- “You’ve been a young man in a hurry”
- “as you would of flying away from that podium by flapping your arms.”
- “the fact that you’re at the fifth lectern tonight shows how far your stock has fallen in this race”
And many other statements and questions were presented to get one candidate to specifically call out and demean another Republican candidate or other Republicans.
So, similarly, here are some “tough but fair” questions that need to be asked of some of the democrat candidates in their next debate.
- “Hillary, given the fact that you lied {quote her emails to her daughter and Egypt prime minister} at the Benghazi hearings, do you have the moral authority to lead anybody?”
- “Hillary, given the fact that you sold out state department classified and top secret information for monetary gain, at what point in time will you be in jail for treason, before, during, or after, the election?”
- “Hillary, given the fact that you set up your own email server which is a violation of federal law, should’t you be in jail right now?”
- “Hillary, given the fact that you have violated 15 federal laws on the email server and Benghazi situation, shouldn’t you be sitting in jail right now?”
- “Bernie, you, an avowed socialist, and given the fact in the 20th century, close to 170 million people have been murdered by their own socialist governments, as president of the United States would you be murdering 30 million Americans or 50 million?”
And then turn to Hillary,
- “Hillary, your progressive agenda matches Bernie’s socialist agenda point by point. Since that also makes you a socialist and do you agree with Bernie on the 30-50 million deaths or do you foresee more?”
did anyone keep reading after this: “Let’s dismiss the myth of liberal media bias.”
This will be ignored by the media to avoid helping NBC further embarrass itself. Col Sanders has a better chance of beating Trump than Comrade Sanders does and they know that.
It’s not that the questions were “unfair”, it’s that the questions were stupid. Questions designed to make people look stupid do not help with making an informed choice when choosing a candidate.
It is also the fact that such questions have never and will never be asked of Democraps.
Recall how George Stuffyopolis was skewered for asking Obama about Bill Ayers?
