The media are pigs wallowing in mud with the republicans during the debate. Media: Why do you let yourself get dragged into the mud like this? Republican: Look who's talking! Media: But we like it in here.
Never underestimate the power offshoot the messenger syndrome. They’ve bashed the “liberal media” for so long they can’t help themselves.I think the networks should all say KMA, since none of the candidates actually want to “debate”.
The GOP beats the Media and abuses it and says awful things about it, but the GOP tells the Media it’s for the Media’s own good, and the Media believes it, because the Media knows that, deep down, the GOP loves the Media and some day the Media will get the GOP to change, if the Media is just patient and keeps putting up with the GOP’s ways.
I’ve watched three Republican debates and one Democratic debate, and I learned more about the candidate’s actual positions from the Benghazi telethon. Anyone who has had high school debate training knows that whatever question you are asked, you simply deflect it and say what you want to say. Attacking the questioner is a waste of time, unless that really is something that you would rather say than to tell people how you actually stand on important issues.

The party of personal responsibility blames others. Or at least that’s what they say the media would say.

US mainstream media is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the Ministry of Propaganda – formerly known as the State Department.

The media is owned by the rich corporations and they foster the LIBERAL label to the Conservative base.

Only one republican has said anything true in these “debates”: “What is this, junior high school?”

Actually, the complaints of the Republlicans and claims of a totally liberal media, are the same that came from Dick, not Cheney, NIXON.

Jeff Gannon, who was accused of asking “W” softball questions, might be available to moderate.

…I like the continued use of the term “exceptionalism” without any qualifiers, “morons” are exceptional…!
