Carl Bernstein Slams ‘Reprehensible’ CNBC Debate
By Scott Whitlock | October 29, 2015 | 1:26 PM EDT
Even veteran liberal journalist Carl Bernstein slammed CNBC, trashing the cable channel’s handling of Wednesday’s debate as “reprehensible.” The Watergate-era author appeared on CNN and fumed, “More than anything... CNBC was really reprehensible.”
Bernstein then called for more balance and open-mindedness from the press. Saying of conservatism and the debate: “But we got a real look at the Republican Party for the first time and their anti-government message is really picking up steam.”
Making a remarkable concession about the liberal press, he continued, “They're [Republicans are] right about the mainstream media. We in the mainstream media need to be reading the right-wing press more, looking online more.”
The co-author of All the President’s Men lectured liberals: “I look at it, because it's a very different universe than we talk about. And there's a lot of people out there that adhere to it.”
A transcript of the exchange, which occurred just after midnight on Thursday, follows:

DON LEMON: And last but certainly not least, Mr. Bernstein.
CARL BERSTEIN: I think it was a bad, bad night for Jeb Bush. I think it was a bad night for Trump and for Carson. They didn't deliver the way they were expected to. More than anything, MSNBC was — I'm sorry, CNBC was really reprehensible. But we got a real look at the Republican Party for the first time and their anti-government message is really picking up steam. And the Democrats got to pay attention to it and they're right about the mainstream media. We in the mainstream media need to be reading the right-wing press more, looking online more. I look at it, because it's a very different universe than we talk about. And there's a lot of people out there that adhere to it.

So you think the republican debates should be some sort of fraternity hazing ritual? You seem ok with the democrats being served tea and scones by the media.
You make a valid point that their polcy papers are on line, but shouldn't the debate be about debating those positions? Was there one question last night about the most important economic issue, immigration? That was no accident. They didn't want to give Trump a platform for the most powerful proposal of the race, his call to stop illegal immigration. Or force Bush and Rubio to defend their amnesty support. There were a couple of tepid gotcha questions about H1B visas, but that was it.
Like I said, I am 100% for removing all attacks in these debates and focusing on the issues. For example, the ones I posted. All America wants reality TV. And then they complain when they get crushed in real life because they don't feel they are being represented.
The only guy that will TRULY represent the people is The Bern. Nearly everyone else is bought. I find it funny when the republicans say anything to stop Hilary to get into the White House. But if Hilary is anything like Bill, well, Bill was a closet republican, at least while he was in office. So secretly, the reps point to anything but Hilary, it is a farce - they want Hilary because Hilary is in with CEOs and corporate America. She pretends not to be. But she is a shrewd politician. Or of course, anyone of republicans on their side would also do. The real one they cannot have is The Bern.
Trump is not bought, but he is untouchable as a candidate. That he is leading in the polls is that people are entertained by him, and he strikes an outsider type cord with people. And people are sick and tired of the same bullshit two party system that doesn't work for them so being seen as an outsider is becoming the only solution. But he is more of the same.
I tell you, the country is on the verge of a choosing a President like Trump or The Bern. Probably not this time around, but mark my words, 2028.

Well surprisingly, for the most part I agree with you. Sanders couldn't possibly be any worse than Obama. He is probably a lot more honest, is against foreign adventures and is not driven by some deep-seated hatred of white Christian America.
I tend to agree with Rush that the republican establishment would prefer to see Hillary elected than Cruz. No doubt they feel the same regarding Trump and Carson, perhaps more so.

Rush makes a number of great points about the debate. He has a comparison of the questions asked to the republicans and in the democrat debate.
He makes another point. The mods last night weren't really even trying to get information or to stimulate debate. They were trying to make the point with their questions that these candidates were reprehensible or unqualified. It was designed to damage all of them. Luckily, they were so over the top and obnoxious that even some of the mainstream media types felt the need to distance themselves.
Of course, the problem stems from the cowardice of the RNC. Why do they continue to allow democrat activists disguised as journalists to conduct republican debates? They even let that biased little weasel Stephanopoulus participate last cycle.

The victimhood continues.
CNBC responded with a single line: “People who want to be President of the United States should be able to answer tough questions.”
Does this mean they will have to continue to answer questions about fantasy football?
You think widespread unregulated gambling is not a topic worthy of discussion? So when it comes to walking and chewing gum, it's a matter of either/or for you?

I can see it now. Next debate. Mod:" Can we get a show of hands that feel Tom Brady should have been suspended for Deflategate?" Followup: "Do we need federal regulation of football inflation?"
