Boom – RNC drops NBC from Super Tuesday debate after CNBC debacle

Legal Insurrection

CNBC Debate Moderators side view

"I suggested at the time GOP needs to make an example of NBC News:"
The GOP has a long history of subjecting its candidates to abuse by debate moderators.
From George Stephanopolous to Candy Crowley, debates are a time for network journalists to earn their battle badges by damaging Republicans.
And the GOP just sucks it up and takes it….
NBC News issued a statement saying it hoped to work with the RNC to resolve any differences.
Don’t let it.
The GOP has stumbled, almost blind, into a way to harness the anger of the Republican electorate while also resetting the relationship between the GOP and the hostile media.
Make an example of NBC News.
It’s a winning issue. No one likes journalists. The profession is not well respected and is viewed widely as biased. Who is going to come to the defense of NBC News?
. . . 
Turn the narrative around from the GOP needing the media to the media needing the GOP.
