Washington Post dubs CNBC loser of debate

Thursday’s feedback on the third Republican presidential candidates’ debate wasn’t pretty for CNBC, with Twitter going wild on the perceived juvenile quality of the moderators and even the liberal Washington Post weighing in with hefty criticism, dubbing the cable network one of the “losers” of the night.

The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza wrote: “Yes, some of the bashing of the network was simply politicians playing to the crowd. Republican voters think the media is biased, so when you as a candidate bash the media for being biased, you win. But, a lot of the questions the moderators asked seemed to be framed like this: ‘You said or did X controversial thing. Explain.’ I’m all for some of that – after all, politicians need to be accountable for their public statements – but it veered occasionally into ‘gotcha’ territory.”

Cillizza also lambasted the moderators on Twitter for speaking over the candidates’ introductions.

“HUGE mistake by CNBC,” Cillizza wrote. “The candidate intros are something we all want to see.”

Later, Cillizza tweeted: “STOP. TALKING.”

Others on social media felt similarly.

“Who are these anchors on CNBC? They might need additional training. This is rough,” tweeted one.

Another, as reported by Mediaite: “CNBC doing a great job of reminding viewers why they don’t watch CNBC.”

Another: “‘Daddy can you fast forward to the debate?’ – 5 year old watching CNBC now.”

And from Herman Cain, a former tea party candidate for president: “The people on CNBC are GOOFY. How do they get those jobs??”

Yet another: “SHUT UP PUNDITS DO THE DEBATE NOW.”

And some humor, from another: “I’ve take a drink every time the @CNBC anchors said ‘ascending’ and now I’m Judy Garland.”
