What seems like for years those who are part of our
state-controlled media have long denied that a liberal bias exists anywhere
within their ranks. And even though
those of us on the right continued to very vigorously point out example after
example of what we viewed as a blatant bias, they would continue to just as
vigorously deny it and say we were all just imagining things. During elections past there has always been present
a certain amount of liberal bias, sometimes to the point where many of us on the
right wondered why it was that Republicans continued to tolerate such unprofessional
behavior.
But for those who tuned in last night to the
Republican presidential debate it would be hard to deny that some of the most
egregious examples of bias ever to be witnessed were on full display. And also on display were candidates who
seemed to be sick and tired of it, and who weren’t going to take it
anymore. The best retorts came from Ted
Cruz, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie and, to a lesser degree, Mike
Huckabee. Each of them, at some point
during the evening, took the opportunity to score some points at the expense of
what were really some pretty pathetic moderators.
But the behavior on the part of these moderators
should really have come as a surprise to no one. And while the die hard liberals will continue
to make the claim that the moderators did nothing more than to ask some very
tough questions, you’d have to be significantly detached from reality to think
that any of the questions were substantive in nature and designed to do
anything other than to tear down the candidates. I thought the purpose of these debates was
supposed to be to provide Republican voters with an opportunity to learn more about
their prospective presidential candidates.
And I think it was on that point that CNBC so very
badly missed the mark, and probably on purpose.
Because it was obvious that none of these moderators was the least bit
interested in delving into what many Republicans voters view as being the most
important issues of the day. To be perfectly
frank, what this was last night was an exercise in journalistic malpractice the
likes of which hasn’t been seen in quite some time. And anyone who prides themselves on being a
journalist should be extremely embarrassed, but I doubt very much if that will
ever happen. The night likely gave them
all a bit of a chuckle.
But I have to ask you, when was the last time anyone
can recall tuning in to a Democrat debate, regardless of which office the
candidates were all vying for, and witnessing such deplorable, even sophomoric,
behavior on the part of the moderators?
Now granted, I don’t usually watch Democrat debates, but on those rare
instances that I have, I don’t seem to remember ever seeing anything that was
anywhere near the level of rudeness that I witnessed while watching last night’s
Republican debate. That liberal bias
exists is now irrefutable and to deny it exists is to deny reality. It’s just that simple.
