| Meet Maria Bartiromo at Fox Business News |
PRonlineNews - John Harwood at the CNBC network was the biggest loser and Maria Bartoromo at Fox Business had to be the biggest winner of the GOP debates held Wednesday night in Colorado.
The channel surfers watching the early morning financial market reports have long been fans of Bartiromo since she moved from CMBC but find the Fox Business format for reporting stock movement on the TV screen scroll uninformative since it reports stock movement by sector rather than in a random real-time way.
However, many of the listeners we talked to today agreed they can handle the format and are switching over to Fox because of the inconsistencies, arrogance, obvious bias and lack of trust in John Harwood.
Viewers said they hoped that Rick Santelli, once known as the Father of the Tea Party movement, would also leave his position with CNBC because it's obvious from telecasts that many of the Left Wing news readers would prefer he not opine on what the markets really have to offer evidenced by the bond sector.
As the CNBC hosts progressively lost control of the event, Texas Senator Ted Cruz turned openly hostile, accusing the CNBC panel of all being Democrats intent on damaging the GOP field.
Florida Senator Marco Rubio and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie soon piled on the network, with Trump wrapping up his night by claiming he had strong-armed them into shortening the debate 'so we can get the hell out of here.'
The evening event in Boulder was billed as a purely economic discussion but turned into a referendum on America's political media, making the Republican-on-Republican rhetorical violence a secondary sideshow.
Claims of media bias became a major theme of the night, with Cruz letting loose the night's first scathing barrage against moderators Carl Quintanilla, Becky Quick and John Harwood.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz drew wild applause for reciting a list of CNBC anchors' questions that he said illustrate why the American people don't trust the media.
Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee's chairman, vented his disgust with the financial news network after the two-hour debate was over. 'Nobody watching at home believes that any of the moderators have any intention of voting in a Republican primary,' he charged.
'The questions asked so far illustrate why the American people don't trust the media. This is not a cage match,' Cruz said. 'Look at the questions: "Donald Trump, are you a comic-book villain?" "Ben Carson, can you do math?" "John Kasich, will you insult two people over here?" "Marco Rubio, why don't you resign?" "Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?"' 'How about talking about the substantive issues that people care about?'
Cruz earned the night's loudest single wave of applause for the outburst.
Rubio followed him with additional slams on the U.S. political press corps after Trump demanded an end to 'scam' super PACs that 'are causing some very bad decisions to be made by some very good people.'
'The Democrats have their own Super PAC,' Rubio claimed. 'It's called the mainstream media.'
