      1. I don't think people have expressed sufficient astonishment at the idea that CNBC is a bastion of the "liberal media"

      2. CNBC is a business channel best known for offering dubious stock market advice That's not liberal media.

      3. Prominent CNBC personalities include Lawrence Kudlow and Rick Santelli (whose rant launched the Tea Party).

      4. During GOP debate Santelli asked a) should interest rates be raised & b) should Federal Reserve be abolished. Not liberal questions.

      5. It's true that some questions were hostile, but people running to be POTUS should be able to handle (and answer) hostile questions.

      6. Part of the confusion is people conflate being conservative with being a GOP shill. Many CNBC personalities are to the right of GOP

      7. A more proper complaint about CNBC was questions were often dumb, whacky, esoteric: i.e. fantasy football regulations & GM court case.

          @HeerJeet The weakness opening question... was not creative. Overall question quality/coherence was high school level.

          @HeerJeet Mistake was moderators didn't have sources ready when candidates denied quotes, stories, etc. Need to be able to pounce on that.
