Quote:That "debate" was such a joke last night.  Even the Washington Post, a liberal media outlet, called CNBC the loser of the night.  They didn't talk about the substantive issues, they wanted people to fight, and push their agendas.  I think the moderators from now on should be people who will likely vote for that party or group of people in a primary election, so we don't have this clown show again.  It was clearly biased, and I am glad the candidates stuck together.  Ted Cruz had the line of the night in my opinion.  Exposed those people for what they were doing.

 

I agree that most of the early question were not substantive.   Asking Rubio about his 401k, for example.   I agree with whoever it was that said it was like the moderators were using opposition research for their questions.   Just a bunch of gotcha questions, or questions designed to spark a candidate food fight.   I don't think it was an example of media bias as much as it was just a poor choice of moderators.   Plus, way too many candidates.   "Give me your entire economic platform in 30 seconds."  

 

By the way, the Washington Post is not a liberal media outlet.   Their opinion page is very diverse politically.
