Fox News Media Analyst Howard Kurtz slammed CNBC’s GOP debate as “an absolute trainwreck for CNBC†and “a disaster for all of us in the news business†on Wednesday’s “Kelly File.â€
Kurtz said, “Megyn, this was an absolute trainwreck for CNBC. Many of the moderators’ questions seemed to me to be snide, hostile, condescending, borderline insulting. And, let me just make clear, I’m totally in favor of tough and provocative questions. … But a lot of these questions were not drilling down on facts, or record, or policy. When John Harwood says Trump, comic book campaign, or does he have the moral authority to be president? When Carl Quintanilla asked Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who had a good night by the way, are you a young man in a hurry? shouldn’t you have waited a few years to run for president? It just validated what a lot of people think about the mainstream media, and this channel’s that’s affiliated of course with NBC News that they cannot be fair to Republicans. It was a disaster for all of us in the news business.â€
Kurtz added, “it didn’t seem like they were focused, for the most part, on questions that, you know this is supposed to be a debate about the economy and jobs on questions that most Americans would relate to. And it’s just that they were gotcha questions, you’re right, they were so personal and the tone seemed so condescending.

Even the leftists are embarrassed LOL
Allegedly.
WOW. After Megan Kelly this embarrasses fox?
Leftist being embarrassed. That something that almost never happens, like that time Death Valley flooded.
They’re not embarrassed at all. Mission accomplished in getting the GOP to play the media game their way AGAIN!!!!!
Truly a picture worth a thousand words!
Unemployment offices may be getting some new recruits.
The MSM overseers are grossly unhappy. Theit attempts of the public flogging and feces throwing did not go according to the game plans.
Kurtz is right, of course. But what he doesn’t say is that the Fox and CNN debates were just as bad in some ways and maybe a little better in some ways.
The difference last night was that the candidates struck back in a highly effective manner and exposed the bias and pettiness for what it was.
Long overdue and it should continue every time the biased media displays their normal behavior.
She’s thrilled, no longer being called “worst moderator ever”. And at least she works for a network that millions of people watch.
This horrible debate will hury Ms. Hillary, if anything.
Megyn says she knows bad, but even she wasn’t that bad!
Headline should be: MSM Hits Rock-Bottom and Starts Digging
Then the tables get totally turned and MSM Moderators wind up apologizing to Trump in their latest debate show....This is just too good.
” “Megyn, this was an absolute trainwreck for CNBC. Many of the moderators’ questions seemed to me to be snide, hostile, condescending, borderline insulting.”
Just think about that for a moment folks.
Irony is so ironic.
While the GOP may have played the media game their way, however, the candidates didn’t. Thanks to the lead of Ted Cruz.
