Scarborough: Biased Debate Moderators Haven't Been Problem in the Past
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/30/2015 5:43:09 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

When this NewsBuster began preparing today's item, the focus was going to be on Joe Scarborough's statement on today's Morning Joe that "90% of the people in our business vote for Democrats and Democratic primaries." Not that it was something we didn't already know [though query whether even 10% of MSMers are Republicans], but refreshing to hear it so starkly stated.

But preparing the video clip, something more stunning emerged. Scarborough actually suggested that the problem of biased debate moderators is something new: "this is not something we've had a problem with in the past." Say what? Do the names George Stephanopoulos and Candy Crowley ring a bell, just to cite two examples of outrageous moderator bias from the last presidential cycle?

I noticed recently when channel surfing that Megan Kelly has adopted Meika's hairdo. Interesting.

Oh on Scarborough’s statement, yeah right have some more Candy and stuffanopolis.

Of course most of his audience will agree with him.

Leftists tend to ignore the applications of their agenda when it serves them.

It will be interesting to see if the next debate is on track with more intelligent and unbiased (hopefully) moderators.

Hmmm, top story in breaking news:
Letter from RNC Chairman Reince Priebus to NBC News (Feb Debate Suspended)
Republican National Committee ^ | October 30, 2015 | Reince Priebus

Mr. Andrew Lack Chairman, NBC News 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, New York 10112

Dear Mr. Lack,

I write to inform you that pending further discussion between the Republican National Committee (RNC) and our presidential campaigns, we are suspending the partnership with NBC News for the Republican primary debate at the University of Houston on February 26, 2016. The RNC's sole role in the primary debate process is to ensure that our candidates are given a full and fair opportunity to lay out their vision for America's future. We simply cannot continue with NBC without full consultation with our campaigns.

Maybe the RNC is listening and will start following their platform instead of their agenda of racing to the left at MOCK 4.

Doubtful

GOP candidates - other than Newt - have never or rarely stood up to the MSM moderators before. THAT is the difference. That is all the difference.

>>A rigged Media, is a rigged election. I remember back in 1992 when every news outlet was trying to scare people about the economy prior to the election. Every day they would run stories about how terrible was George HW Bush’s economy. Pictures of people standing in soup lines, pictures of businesses shuttered, pictures of homeless people, and so forth. They did everything of which they could think to portray the economy as horrible, because Clinton’s campaign theme was “It’s the Economy Stupid”, and the little Democrat soldiers who make up the media were deliberately boosting Clinton’s chances by their efforts to paint the economy as the worst ever. We find out the day after the election that it was all lies, and told to deliberately mislead the public into thinking we needed a new direction on economics. The media basically stole that election. A rigged media, is a rigged election.

Forgot to post this one yesterday. Larry King (on an open mic to Bill Clinton during the 1992 campaign):
