What's the DNC afraid of?

this is the real definition of a libertarian and the real result of your policy positions.
Quick graduated from Rutgers University in 1993 with a BA in Political Science, where she was editor-in-chief of The Daily Targum. As an undergraduate, she was awarded the Times Mirror Fellowship from the Journalism Resources Institute at Rutgers. Prior to her employment at CNBC, she covered retail and e-commerce industry topics for The Wall Street Journaland helped launch the paper's website in April 1996.[2
From 1994 to 1999, Quintanilla served as a staff reporter for The Wall Street Journal where he wrote full-time for the newspaper's Chicago, Illinois, bureau, coveringairlines, manufacturing and economic issues. He also wrote a weekly column on workplace issues and on-the-job trends for the newspaper's front page.
He, along with his network, CNBC, was berated by Jon Stewart in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis for failing to predict the downturn and ask tough questions of Wall Street executives. Quintanilla had once asked Allen Stanford, later pronounced the orchestrator of a "massive Ponzi scheme", how it felt to be a billionaire on his show – instead of "tougher" questions. This drew the ire of Stewart and other media commentators.
I don't follow either of them that closely, but not exactly liberal institutions. Harwood seems to certainly lean more left than Quick/Quintanilla.
But again, CNBC isn't like HuffPo. It's a financial channel. It had some hard-hitting and good questions, such as the one to Carson about his hokey product he's endorsing and Trump about Rubio/Zuckerberg, which were both lambasted, yet it turned out the moderators were correct. They were ill-prepared, but I guess maybe they just didn't expect the to GOP front-runners to outright lie on such easily verified questions?
Or they follow the rules too well. You guys want rules, and then you get rules, and then you complain once you see what the rules actually end up being about.
They can't play that card. That's their Super Pac. But they would butch and moan and groan.... Pretty much what you've been hounding the GOP for doing.
The entire media is the DNC's superpac? You sure you want to put that tinfoil hat on?
No, they're not, but the moderators seemed to be. And the questioning was "very" bad at times. And yes, other times it was legitimate and fair. Tone had a lot to do with the issues people took with the moderators.
And I'm still waiting on the proof that Fox offered the Dems a debate. What's taking so long?
Look at the CNBC debate and the questions asked. During the CNN (GOP) debate, it was Candidate B, Candidate A said this about you, please respond. They basically turned it into a back and forth between the candidates, and a heavy dose of it was personal.
Fast forward to the CNN (DEM) debate, how many Candidate B, Candidate A said this about you, please respond questions were there?
Use your reality cap, not the one Debbie sent you when she put you on the payroll.

Sure Red..... There is no such thing as bias in this world. Everyone gets along and everything is fair. My bad, I forgot we were living in your world.
I just find it comical that you've become nutty enough to buy into the GOP's "everybody's out to get us," excuse.
What's more likely? That the entire media is in cahoots with the Democrats in some vast conspiracy against the Republicans? Or that the GOP is just running sucky candidates? I know which one I would pick.
Red, are you serious? No, I don't think every other media outlet except Fox is out to get the GOP. But just like Fox and Roger Ailes, each network has their owner or CEO. And that owner/CEO lean one way or another (most seem to lean left). And if you honestly don't think that journalism today hasn't fallen to the point where it writes more opinion pieces than facts, you are simply not all there.
It's funny how obvious this is, but since it benefits your party, "nothing to see folks".
Huey....there are a lot of "Nixon" folks out there even today. Nixon was the classic race baiting campaign politician. His "silent majority" and his "Southern strategy" that he used to win election is '68 was nothing more than not so subtle race baiting, whites folks vs. black folks.
The sad thing about Nixon's '68 election, is that it worked and has become a SOP for both parties to this day.,
I think you were closer the first time but you're smart to cover every angle.
Not sure it made much difference which questions were asked because you could count on one hand the number of times the candidate even answered the original question. It went straight to the talking points.
OP lied to us. FoxNews never offered the Dems a debate. You guys are lame. Start a thread and can't even supply the most basic proof of its assertion.
I realize because of the size of the field...the format was different. But the Dem debate dealt with issues and stayed pretty much to the mods questions. The GOP has a circus atmosphere.

Think back to 2008 when the Dems had quite the representation on the debate stage. Talking points all night long. Aren't you going to realize there really is no difference in the political election process?
Think about that 2008 time... it was NOTHING like the GOP this cycle.
But you are absolutely correct... they say whatever they think will get them elected.
Still waiting on proof that Fox ever offered the Dems. Get on the ball, aflac.
You're asking me to provide a link for something that didn't happen? I'm not sure you understand how proof works.You're the one that said they didn't. I asked for a link.
No, a link for something you said didn't happen.
Your post: "OP lied to us. FoxNews never offered the Dems a debate. You guys are lame. Start a thread and can't even supply the most basic proof of its assertion."
Where did you confirm they didn't offer?

This is so backwards. Like when religious people ask you to prove God doesn't exist.
Jan is smart. He knows this. He's just in a trolling mood. Dude has to follow me around opposing everything I say like a little brother.
Fox Spokesman said they offered the DNC a debate. The DNC said nothing to correct the record. To me that's proof enough it's true
When? I've googled FoxNews, Democrats, Democratic, democratic debate, offered, DNC, and any other combination of search terms I could think up and came up completely empty. I even went back in and added "spokesman" to this list and still got nothing. I'm gonna need a link.
There's your problem. Rs have an aversion to grammar and never call Ds democratic.
Maybe. But I have tried searching for this alleged offer multiple times and have found exactly nothing. Unless someone can provide real proof, I'll have no choice but to consider the claim pure bullshit.
I guess you missed the part where I said that griping about a single lousy news station was fine, didn't you? Just sayin
