The questions CNBC gave GOP presidential candidates last night weren’t the last stupid things we’d hear coming from the moderators. Fresh off the GOP-bashing debate high, CNBC anchor Carl Quintanilla went on Twitter Thursday morning to tweet out a nonchalant tweet highlighting the effectiveness of communist China’s (now former) one-child only policy.  

“This is the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friends,” or so the children’s song goes. And so the media’s chant against the Planned Parenthood videos continues. On Thursday, CNN New Day co-anchor Alisyn Camerota spoke with candidate Carly Fiorina about her performance during Wednesday night’s Republican presidential primary debate. During the interview, Camerota found time not only to…

On Thursday's New Day, CNN's Alisyn Camerota denied that true media bias against Donald Trump exists.

Despite the incredibly biased performance of the moderators of CNBC’s Republican presidential debate, on Thursday’s NBC Today, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd portrayed his business network colleagues as victims of a GOP plot: “Look, in many ways this was a premeditated attack. There had been some leaked ideas that, you know, beforehand, they were going to go after the moderators and say, ‘…

Following Wednesday’s CNBC Republican presidential debate, View co-host Whoopi Goldberg defended the network from criticism and told the GOPers on stage to “grow some nuts” rather than complain about a lack of substantive questions. After Goldberg initially asked “who answered one substantive question” last night before she lectured the Republicans who complained about the biased moderators: “So…

Wednesday night’s Republican presidential debate didn’t suffer because of liberal media bias. It was simply too short and there were too many candidates. That’s the spin the journalists on ABC’s Good Morning America came up with, Thursday. Matthew Dowd asserted, “I think fundamentally the problem is there's too many candidates on the stage....Too many candidates on the stage is too much.” …

During an appearance on Fox & Friends Thursday morning, Senator Marco Rubio slammed CNBC’s Republican presidential debate, specifically the moderators who “can't wait for their chance to show off in front of their buddies by asking some question they think is going to embarrass, especially Republicans.”

According to ABC’s Cecilia Vega, Hillary Clinton was one of the biggest winners” at the Republican debate. Despite not being a member of the GOP or on stage, the Good Morning America reporter on Thursday cheered the Democrat: “I think, is actually one of the biggest winners last night. The more they [Republicans] duke it out, the more internal fighting there is, she stays above the fray.”

Appearing on the Fox Business Network's Varney & Company, MRC President Brent Bozell castigated the "smarmy, condescending, arrogant" moderators of CNBC's Republican presidential debate for their liberal questions designed to pick fights with the candidates, and delighted in the participants' fierce counter-attack against the obvious bias: "It was better than sex." That cracked Varney up.

Even after telling Florida Senator Marco Rubio that he had the “breakout performance of the night” during Wednesday’s Republican debate, on Thursday’s NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie urged the GOP presidential candidate to resign from the U.S. Senate: “...once and for all, answer The Sun Sentinel’s question, should you resign, would you resign? Why not leave your Senate seat and just remove…

Following Wednesday night’s CNBC Republican presidential debate, on Thursday’s CBS This Morning, co-host Charlie Rose repeatedly tried to lecture Senator Marco Rubio over Hillary Clinton’s role in the 2012 Benghazi attack. After Rubio stated that he had not engaged in personal attacks throughout this campaign, Rose immediately rushed to defend Clinton and proclaimed that on the issue of Benghazi…

Tuning into Morning Joe today, the question on this NewsBusters' mind was whether—given that MNSBC and CNBC are corporate cousins—Joe Scarborough would have the guts to go after John Harwood. He did.  In at least three segments this morning, Scarborough criticized Harwood for what he called his "embarrassing" performance as moderator of the GOP debate last night. Scarborough's repeated criticism…

Just a few hours after their atrocious performance in the third Republican presidential debate, two of the co-moderators from CNBC joined MSNBC’s Chris Matthews to double down on their liberal stances with John Harwood refusing to admit he lied regarding Senator Marco Rubio’s tax plan while Sharon Epperson trashed Carly Fiorina and how Republican candidates supposedly “don't really care about the…

Wednesday night, an Associated Press reporter told us that it's the press's job to ask "tough, impertinent" questions like the ones moderators at Wednesday night's CNBC-hosted Republican debate were asking. Ken Dilanian, who is apparently the AP's Intelligence Writer — seriously — really needs to consult a dictionary before he makes such a complete fool of himself. Here is what Dilanian tweeted…
