NBC is out after their network, CNBC,was heavily criticized for it’s poor moderation of the third GOP Presidential Debate.
Friday, the Republican National Committee announced it’s suspending its partnership with NBC News and its properties and won’t allow the network to co-host a presidential primary debate scheduled for February.
The letter from RNC Chairman Reince Priebus to NBC News chief Andrew Lack comes after this week’s heavily criticized debate on CNBC.
Priebus says the CNBC debate did not focus on economic issues as promised, and that candidates were asked questions that “were inaccurate or downright offensive.”
The RNC tells NBC it will still hold a debate as scheduled on Feb. 26 with its other planned media partner, National Review.
Even before the decision to break with NBC, several of the GOP campaigns had planned to meet to discuss complaints about how the party’s debates are being run.

CNBC did a lousy job for the Republican debate. CNBC should be embarrassed how they looked to the TV viewers.
Get a Life CNBC !!!
Dear President Obama
It was you who told an Islamic dinner – “I am one of you.”
It was you who on ABC News referenced – “My Moooslim faith.”
It was you who gave $100 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to re-build foreign mosques.
It was you who wrote that in the event of a conflict -“I will stand with the Moooslims.”
It was you who assured the Egyptian Foreign Minister that – “I am a Moooslim.”
It was you who bowed in submission before the guardian of Mecca, the Saudi King of Islam, but not to the British Queen, head of the Christian Church of England.
It was you who sat for 20 years in a Liberation Theology Church condemning Christianity and professing Marxism.
It was you who exempted Moooslims who adhere to Sharia Law from penalties under ObamaCare that the rest of us have to pay.
It was you who purposefully omitted “endowed by our Creator” from your recitation of The Declaration Of Independence.
It was you who mocked the Bible and Jesus Christ’s “Sermon On The Mount” while repeatedly referring to the “HOLY” Quran.
It was you who traveled the Islamic world apologizing for the United States Of America.
CNBC is a disgrace and completely out of touch with reality, fairness and common decency. We the people hate that kind of condescending and disrespectful treatment of candidates. It shows how they think the American people are stupid and don’t care about treating all people fairly and giving all candidates the same opportunities to let America know what their plans are if elected to help our country economically, on national security, on our national debt and other issues that are extremely important to all of us no matter what your political affiliation is. We are all Americans. We need to be united, not divided by race, gender, income, religion or sexual orientation. You’d think in 2015, we have evolved way beyond that. It’s obvious some want to keep us living in the past and to agitate people and pit them against one another. Come on, people!!! We all know better!
Very disappointed with debate. As an American I was interested to hear how the candidates would handled issues concerning the country, not about personal issues. CNBC asked stupid questions and repetitive questions that should be left in the dead file. Enough! Let’s get to the issues Americans are concerned with, our future!!
You have made some good points there. I checked on the internet to learn more about the
issue and found most individuals will go along with your views on this web
site.
