CNBC’s Rogue Moderator Doubles Down on Post-Debate Attacks

   DailyWire.com

John Harwood is a sore loser. After a career-compromising exhibition of petulant verbal assaults against Republican presidential candidates during Wednesday night’s debate, CNBC’s moderator (if you could call him that), took to social media to burn his last shred of dignity. The political pyromaniac impulsively tweeted:

Instead of issuing an unqualified mea culpa, Harwood continued his temper tantrum offstage, taking his pro-Hillary ass-kissing to new heights and exploiting the low-bearing fruit of policy-based, Republican congressional divisions. This comes after the rogue agitator got caught in a tangled web of lies; “Harwood accused Florida Sen. Marco Rubio of presenting a tax plan that unfairly favored the one-percenters. Problem is Harwood had made that claim two weeks before—and publicly retracted it,” reports The Daily Wire.

Harwood’s Rubio lie put the nail in the coffin of CNBC’s legitimacy. As the bastard “business” network of Obama-affiliated NBC, CNBC unmasked the mainstream media’s liberal bias in spectacular fashion. While most “objective” news outlets can generally get away with playing wolves disguised as sheep, CNBC unleashed its voracious hounds on Wednesday evening for the American public to see in stark relief.

“There are no letter grades that properly fit how terrible the network was. The network was so awful that even Reince Priebus had to condemn them,” posits The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro, assigning the faux-news station a grade of Z- for its egregious debate moderation.

“My favorite @JohnJHarwood question was when he asked Ted Cruz how baby flesh tastes.”

While Harwood’s questions were littered with inconsistencies and insults, his elitist tone betrayed his ill-will toward the men and women on the debate stage. At a certain point, Harwood abandoned the mask of moderator and just began interrupting Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio as bitter retribution against the candidates’ daring defiance of his vitriol. Shapiro perfectly captures Hardwood’s venom below:

Wednesday night marked the day that the mainstream media got exposed for what it truly is: a Democrat Super-PAC. Harwood is just the face of an industry that abandoned journalism’s principle ethos at the Leftist doorstep long ago.
