Who needs 'em. The media immoderators are just Dem Shills

Who wouldn’t watch Grover Norquist or Hugh Hewitt or Mark Levin moderate
a panel made up of serious people, who know what they are talking about
and won’t present rumor and innuendo as fact?
Time We Took the Debates Back | The American Spectator

Who can take someone seriously with a Walter Mitty fantasy name:
Suspending ties with NBC should be just step one for Reince Priebus.
By Mark Corallo – 11.1.15

For the longest time conservatives have distrusted the mainstream media, and for good reason. For decades we have seen the journalistic double standard in Washington and elsewhere that favored Democrats and liberals and dinged Republicans and conservatives. Why else would Fox News’ “fair and balanced” motto resonate the way it does? The CNBC debate last week should have neither surprised nor outraged most folks. It was par for the course in most ways. The difference is some candidates on the stage were willing to call the moderators on it.

Yet why is it that Republicans always seem to feel they were sucker punched in situations like the debates? The RNC said on Friday that CNBC’s actions were a “betrayal.” Really? As opposed to what? The performances of the debate moderators that were so sterling in 2012? Or ’08? Or ’96?

RNC chair Reince Priebus also let it be known that he is barring NBC from its February 2016 debate role and allowing the other debate partner for that event, National Review, to go it alone. That’s a good start, but where is it etched in stone, as if commanded by Almighty God, that any Republican presidential primary debate must be moderated by so-called “mainstream journalists”? Or that these journalists and these cable or broadcast outlets are even interested in substance when it comes to Republicans and their policies?

The CNBC debacle is an opportunity for the Republican National Committee to stand up not just to NBC and but to tell ABC, CBS, CNN, and the rest to take a hike. They are welcome to cover the Republican primary debates, but their “talent” will not be needed.
