Okay, so we have this large group of Republican candidates for President; too large, really.  And I never understood why we were being subjected to so many “debates” so early in the process.  The RNC set these things up, giving the various media outlets complete control over the formats and conduct of the questioning.  On Wednesday, the Republican candidates, collectively, with the possible exceptions of John Kasich and Jeb Bush, rose up and publicly told the media, in this case CNBC, that which most of us already understood, namely, that the media is biased toward Democrats and against Republicans, and that it uses the “debates” as a vehicle to extol Democrats and to destroy Republicans.  This inconvenient truth came as a shock to the media hacks who were responsible for this latest travesty.  This is not surprising.  The fact is that these media people, like all left-wing ideologues, really believe that they are moderates.  They do.  Every wild-eyed liberal, progressive, maniac, whatever you want to call them, truly believes he or she is in the mainstream.  This delusion stems from their certitude that, if they believe something, it’s automatically right, and most of the country agrees with them.  In fact, James Carville actually wrote a book entitled We’re Right They’re Wrong.  As a result, when Ted Cruz and some of the others called out the “debate” moderators, the media reaction had to be, “there’s something wrong with Cruz and all Republicans.”  Wrong again.  It was about time.

Just yesterday, I heard an interview of Chris Cuomo, who apparently has a show on CNN.  Cuomo actually said, “CNN doesn’t have a political point of view.”  I’m sure he believed it.  Then, Marco Rubio was interviewed by Charlie Rose.  Rose was shocked, shocked at Rubio’s statement that Hillary Clinton is a liar.  Rose:  “Why would you call her a liar?”  Rubio:  “Because she is a liar.  She lied at the Benghazi hearings.”  Rose:  “That’s a serious accusation.”  Rubio then explained what Hillary lied about.  It didn’t help.  Now, unless Charlie Rose was under a rock somewhere, he must have seen or heard about the hearings.  When Hillary’s own emails, those emails she unsuccessfully tried to erase, completely contradict her public statements, the only rational conclusion is that she lied.  Rose simply takes whatever she says as the truth.  Birds of a feather.  But I’m sure if you asked him, Charlie Rose would tell you he’s an impartial journalist.  The facts would seem to contradict this contention.

So what’s the solution to this mess?  Don’t have the media moderating the debates.  The RNC should set up a schedule, tell the media when and where and engage people to ask the questions; how about people from the Heritage Foundation?  Start the questioning off on a subject and let the candidates go at it.  The media can either cover it, or choose not to cover it.  This is not a risk.  Since they’re all whores, one network won’t let another network gain an advantage, so they will all be there.  So, will the Republican revolt have any effect on future debates?  Not likely.  You see, the media people are already being as fair as they can be.  Ain’t that the truth?
