Clinton's Neo Benghazi Committee (CNBC) and the future GOP debates

It's good to see the GOP candidates united against the liberal mainstream media. They have banded together after the CNBC "debate" which clearly demonstrated the inordinate bias the left simply cannot hide when dealing with conservatives and others in the GOP.

After the shoddy, unprofessional, ill-prepared, off-point, 'gotcha' debate attacks, the GOP candidates are finally saying to them "enough of this crap; we don't need you as much as you need us."

Dr. Ben Carson asked his staff to contact other campaigns and work together to come up with a better debate format. It looks like the parent network, NBC, is going to be out in the cold or make serious changes if they want to host any further GOP debates.

It's interesting to note that the Democratic candidates refuse to debate on Fox News. They only will go on socialist-friendly networks because they cannot handle actual policy questions that go beyond "What is your favorite animal in the whole, wide world?"

The CNBC debacle wasn't a debate--it was a full frontal assault on the candidates and an insult to conservatives who watched it (despite leftards like Alan Colmes and Richard Fowler who claim that it was fair to ask tough questions).

But Fox News is also inspiring some conservatives (me) to switch over to non-news programming just to get away from the monopolizing rants from the progressives they feature just to make the broadcast 'fair and balanced.' 

My favorite Fox News show used to be "The Five" until Geraldo Rivera came aboard. Now I refuse to watch it whenever he's on, and based on anecdotal evidence from my observations on Twitter, I am certainly not unique in this behavior. His adolescent yelling at Eric Bolling, for example, or his boastful bullcrap about his war zone bravery is enough to curdle mercury.

But when CNBC "moderator" John Harwood was proven to have lied to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) about admitting to changing his own statement, that did it for the future of CNBC debates.

Ted Cruz, whose attack on the moderators was brilliant, interviewed with Bret Baier afterward and suggested that Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin moderate future debates. 

This is a great idea because they would get to the real issues conservative voters and independent voters want to know and they wouldn't ask questions like: "When did you stop molesting young children?"
