The only reason I don’t feel disgust at this level of stupidity is because having worked in the media, I fully realize that yes, they really are that unaware of the words coming out of their mouths/keyboards. They are every bit as stupid as they appear on TV.
I have said it for years. History begins for a liberal every morning when they wake up.

Read the comments on Huffpo (then shower immediately after) they’re not embarrassed in the least.

The bias of the moderators was so high,it showed all viewers that this was about hurting ALL Republican candidates, and nothing more.

I stood by the principles I went in with.
Seriously. When it became obvious that there was no way to work within the system, I parachuted.

The media has always leaned left..I think maybe 90 percent of the media(That’s including some even on Fox News) vote Democrat..but I think after the 2004 election when they couldn’t get John Kerry elected they decided screw pretending to be “Objective” they decided to throw everything including the kitchen sink to get Democrats elected. It worked in 2008, it worked in 2012(Even Romney as bad as he was should have been elected President, a house cat could have beaten Obama) so they are hoping it will work again in 2016. When the left has the media in their back pocket its hard to beat that. You have people who don’t care about Benghazi, you have people who don’t care about how the IRS targeted a particular group of people, as long as they get their freebies from Mommy and Daddy Govt they just don’t care and that is the problem

I agree. Kelly, Baier, and Wallace weren’t any better than CNBC.

"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."The difference last night was that they all got the Trump treatment where in the earlier debates he was the only one on the receiving end.
Where were all the outcries from the other candidates for the earlier debates?

The difference last night was that they all got the Trump treatment where in the earlier debates he was the only one on the receiving end. Trump was on the receiving end of the most of it in the first two, but Fox did ask gotcha questions of other candidates and CNN did try to sic various candidates on other candidate throughout their debate.
When the candidates were in accord with their reactions last night, that made the difference.

So true about Cruz especially his line that the Democrats debate being a fight between the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks. Brilliant! That said, our side is still agreeing to do these debates with the MSM moderating. That’s all I’m saying.

Very good post; I remember when Kerry lost the bitterness among the media was palpable. They were in full propaganda mode in 2008 and haven’t quit.

” And itââ¬â¢s just that they were gotcha questions, youââ¬â¢re right, they were so personal and the tone seemed so condescending.”
In other words, just like the Fox debate.

As a former broadcaster myself, I can assure everyone that this CNBC so-called 'train wreck' was not some spontaneous event where the moderators maybe got 'a little carried away', this was a thoroughly scripted and planned event. There is absolutely NO way that any producer or manager would have just brought in those three clods and said "ok, just wing it, we have every confidence in your professional abilities", NFW!
These questions and the hostile intent of the moderators was planned WELL in advance, CNBC knew that they would probably pull in some good numbers (and they did, the best in their history) and so they wanted to 'make it count' and that meant sharpening up the liberal knives and carving up the Republican candidates, who they hate more than a Baptist hates original sin.
Ted Cruz got it right when he recited verbatim the absurd questions asked by those faux moderators, their purpose was to provoke chaos and hopefully a free for all between the candidates.
And who would benefit from such chaos?
The mistress of the 'RAT plantation, none other than Hillary Rotten Clinton. The media's sole intent, in fact their ONLY intent has always been to run interference and pave the way for that sociopathic sow to be give the red carpet treatment all the way to the White House.
Thanks to Ted Cruz, last night America saw those choreographed clowns for what they are.
