Washington Post dubs CNBC loser of debate ~ By Cheryl Chumley

'It veered occasionally into gotcha territory'

Others on social media felt similarly.

“Who are these anchors on CNBC? They might need additional training. This is rough,” tweeted one.

Another, as reported by Mediaite: “CNBC doing a great job of reminding viewers why they don’t watch CNBC.”

Another: “‘Daddy can you fast forward to the debate?’ – 5 year old watching CNBC now.”

As I was watching the GOP Debate with the (currently) top 10 candidates, I was flabbergasted by the unprofessional demeanor of the faux moderators from CNBC. They're lack of ability to come up with intelligent questions would make anybody think they were watching a game show. And that was just my opinion BEFORE I saw any post-debate analysis by any news networks (besides CNBC)! I didn't have to be a media analyst or political pundit to know that the pseudo moderators had an agenda. They showed their leftist bias on steroids.  You know what I'm saying!

Washington Post dubs CNBC loser of debate

Debate moderators Carl Quintanilla, left, Becky Quick, center, and John Harwood appear during the CNBC Republican presidential debate at the University of Colorado (Fox News) Thursday's feedback on the third Republican presidential candidates' debate wasn't pretty for CNBC, with Twitter going wild on the perceived juvenile quality of the moderators and even the liberal Washington Post…

Kaboom! Cruz launches missile at debate hosts ~ By Paul Bremmer

'Illustrate why the American people don't trust the media'

"Let me say something at the outset,” Cruz began. “The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don’t trust the media."

The mean-spirited character assassins (pseudo debate moderators) of the CNBC network hosting the GOP debate were not asking any questions of substance, but instead, tried to nail the Republican candidates with a "gotcha" interrogation. With the very first question being, "What is your biggest weakness?", and followed by even dumber questions meant to make the candidates look bad, Ted Cruz finally went off on the pseudo moderators. See the video below:

Kaboom! Cruz launches missile at debate hosts

By Paul Bremmer Ted Cruz eviscerated the CNBC moderators early in Wednesday night's Republican presidential debate at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The Texas senator was asked about his opposition to a proposed deal that would raise the debt limit and authorize higher spending. It also would prevent a shutdown of government operations.

Could James Carville be right? ~ By Robert Ringer

So, if you still like to believe in miracles, here's how the U.S. might still be able to escape what appears to be imminent financial and cultural death: 32 years of Jim DeMint, Allen West, Bobby Jindal and Chris Christie in the White House, all supported by tea-party dominated Houses and Senates. Throw one more (perhaps yet unknown) tea-party president into the mix, and James Carville's prediction of one-party control of Washington for the next 40 years might actually become a reality. It's just that he would have had the wrong party in mind.

Of course, you should definitely read all of Robert's column today, or else you would miss the best part, where he writes about Ron Paul, such as, "I've known Ron Paul for more than 30 years, and he is the most knowledgeable congressman of our time on the issues of constitutional law, personal liberty and, above all, the Federal Reserve and it's chief criminal function of creating worthless paper money." That's just for starters!

I recently discovered the excellent biography series on – of all places – CNBC. Reading and watching biographies on television is an incredible educational tool. Over the past few weeks, I've watched biographies about J.W. Marriott, Henry Ford, Colonel Sanders and Richard Branson, among others.

Now that I've become a shameful CNBC viewer, I find myself clicking to that breeding ground of liberal fantasies from time to time to see if I can catch a good biography. Which means my eyes may briefly be exposed to such intellectual pornography as "Mad Money with Jim Cramer" or "Hardball with Chris Matthews" before I'm able to flip the channel back to Fox. Fortunately, to the best of my knowledge, I have suffered no permanent brain damage.

Which brings me to last Sunday evening. Now firmly entrenched in the habit of flipping to CNBC in search of a good biography, I stumbled across what appeared to be a reality TV show that made me feel as though I had landed on a planet in a faraway galaxy. The show centered around a woman I had never seen before, but whose name I had heard – Suze Orman. I later looked her up on the Internet and found that she is "undeniably America's most recognized expert on personal finance." Quite an impressive moniker, to say the least.

They call it "The Suze Orman Show," but a more appropriate name might be "Economics for Adolescents." It was a truly stunning experience. A viewer called in to ask Ms. Orman to evaluate his financial situation and tell him if she thought he could retire at age 58. She advised him to wait until at least age 60 (shades of Europe), giving him all sorts of grade-school advice without ever alluding to the fact that there are a few pesky realities concerning the U.S. economy he might want to take into consideration. It sounded like something out of the 1950s or '60s – kind of a financial version of "Ozzie and Harriet."

In fairness, let me say that I have no idea whether Ms. Orman is ignorant, totally oblivious to what's going on with the U.S. economy, or just role playing to present herself as an upbeat purveyor of hackneyed financial advice for the masses. Either way, the reason her hollow gibberish had a special impact on me was because on that very day I happened to have been rereading Ron Paul's classic "End the Fed."

Obama hits back at 'tea party' rant

The White House apparently noticed yesterday when a CNBC analyst's impassioned critique of President Obama's mortgage-rescue plan became an Internet phenomenon. At the presidential press briefing today, press secretary Robert Gibbs eagerly responded to a reporter's question about Rick Santelli's rant. Gibbs says Santelli should drink decaf coffee.

Spokesman says CNBC analyst should switch to drinking decaf © 2009 WorldNetDaily The White House apparently noticed yesterday when a CNBC analyst's impassioned critique of President Obama's mortgage-rescue plan became an Internet phenomenon. At the presidential press briefing today, press secretary Robert Gibbs eagerly responded to a reporter's question about Rick Santelli's rant amid sympathetic, angry traders at the CME Group in Chicago. "I've watched Mr. Santelli on cable the past 24 hours or so," Gibbs said, according to an account by the newssite Politico. "I'm not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives or in what house he lives, but the American people are struggling every day to meet their mortgages, stay in their jobs, pay their bills, send their kids to school. "I think we left a few months ago the adage that if it was good for a derivatives trader that it was good for Main Street," the White House spokesman continued. "I think the verdict is in on that." Santelli later responded to Gibbs in an MSNBC interview, pointing out his complaint was based more on philosophical differences than on details of the plan. Gibbs contended Santelli "has argued, I think quite wrongly, that this plan won't help everyone." "This plan helps people who have been playing by the rules. ... I would encourage him to read the president's plan. ... I'd be more than happy to have him come here to read it. I'd be happy to buy him a cup of coffee – decaf," Gibbs said with a smile in an obvious reference to Santelli's passion.

See 'tea party' call by CNBC analyst - By Jerome Corsi

Digg user 7papa7 writes, "Incredible, somebody on a far left station actually telling the truth and not praising Obama for his socialist agenda. I hope it becomes contagious and all America wakes up. A tea party is a good idea but impeachment is a better one. The longer Obama is able to implement his agenda the farther down America will go."

Posted: February 19, 2009 11:44 am Eastern By Jerome R. Corsi © 2009 WorldNetDaily With tongue only partially in cheek, a CNBC analyst on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange this morning responded to President Obama's proposed $275 billion deficit-financed homeowner bailout plan and other massive spending measures with a call for a new "tea party." Rick Santelli, in a nearly three-minute rant that drew approving hoots and comments from nearby traders, said the Obama administration's promotion of bad behavior must be causing the founding fathers to roll over in their graves. "We're thinking of having a Chicago Tea Party in July," Santelli told CNBC "Squawk Box" co-anchor Joe Kernan. "All you capitalists who want to show up at Lake Michigan, I'm going to start organizing." Some viewers already are comparing Santelli's rant to the well-known scene from the movie "Network" in which character Howard Beale stands up in the middle of his newscast and declares, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
