Discussion: RNC Cuts Ties With NBC For February Debate, CNN Will Moderate Instead

Discussion for article #244836

Why not just have the Republican candidates give the CNN moderators the questions they want to be asked, so they they can respond with their canned replies? We’re about 1/2 a step away from that right now.

I keep asking myself why anyone would vote for the world’s biggest crybaby (The GOP), especially when they aren’t even potty trained.

“The RNC is ensuring the partnership with Telemundo and conservative partners National Review and Salem Communications will continue as planned.”

Isn’t Telemundo part of NBC?

They also had issues with Fox…remember Meagan??? So, have they also cut out Murdoch’s propaganda machine??? Really does not matter…the republican debates are boring…how many times do we need to hear from Trump how smart, rich he is and that he went to Wharton???

So. Scared-off by the likes of Lester Holt/Andrea Mitchell?
Or the sight of a real debate on Sunday night?

Either is an indictment.

“We were betrayed, and I think the candidates were betrayed by CNBC,” Priebus said in October while explaining his decision to suspend NBC’s partnership. “And we need to look out for the candidates in these future debates.”

Absolutely! We need to protect the people who tell us they will stare down Putin and ISIS, by making sure no one asks them any mean questions.

Why is anyone surprised. These are the same five year olds who came up with Freedom Fries when France, rightly so, opposed the invasion of Iraq. No one plays the victim better than the right-wing. And they call Obama weak. Yeah, right.

I didn’t realize that their gatherings were considered debates. I had believed that a debate was an intelligent formal discussion about one or more topics/issues. Still waiting…

I love this. It’s leadership man!. Perhaps we can suspend all that ISIS shit and since the climate is betraying us too…just suspend that as well. Running away. Who’d have thunk it? It’s great!!!

Why not just have FOX News do ALL the debates?
If all you want are compliant talking heads who will follow a SCRIPT for you, they are the kings of that.
NBC actually wanted to ask QUESTIONS (as opposed to the blow jobs the RNC wants) so you fired them.
Typical.

Ruh Roh. Musn’t mention water. Or guns. Or climate.

ALL ISIS/BENGHAZI ALL THE TIME!

Our gutless popular media – with CNN at the head of the pack – will gladly cave to such demands, in the interest of “balance.”

The way I understand it, the RNC objected to the use of the word “moderate”, since they do not want to give the impression there is anything moderate whatsoever in their plan for America. Accordingly, CNN will describe the person normally referred to as “moderator” as a “host”.
