So umm…sounds like the Repub's debate "revolt" is already falling apart…..less than 24 hours after the "joint-letter" of demands to TV networks was drafted.

As the President slammed Repub candidates for NOT being able to handle a few CNBC moderators: "Let me tell you, if you can’t handle those guys, then I don’t think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried," (last night at a Democratic fundraiser in NY) ….Kasich, Christie and Fiorina made clear that they would NOT be signing that "joint-letter."

And Trump announced that he'll be doing his own thing altogether……….as usual.

H/T: MSNBC et al

I watched about 40 minutes of the CNBC debate and it WAS indeed a spectacle. But not because of any "librul" bias.

The American news media has a "idiocy" bias and a "do anything for rating$" bias. As I've expressed before, it's mostly a BS and Hype industry. If there's NO actual news they just make isht up. If there's little-to-NO conflict happening they just stir things up.

It's what they do.

Frankly, IMO, the CNBC moderators are typical "news journalists" you see any day of the week 24/7 on any of the major news station and programs. Most of them are snarky, stunningly UNinformed, intellectually lazy AND incompetent. The only reason their performance is taking a HUGE hit is because ALL OF THAT was on full display X10 condensed into a 2 hour presentation.

However…..

The truth is, even when Repubs were asked good questions they deliberately chose to deflect or ignore the questions because they had NO good answers. Instead they seized every opportunity to grandstand and feed their voters red meat

It's what they do.
