CNBC Moderators Criticized

A day after going at each other in a third presidential debate, some Republican presidential candidates spent Thursday going after the debate process itself.
“It became irritating,” Marco Rubio told Fox News.

From “gotcha” questions that were deemed too snarky or biased to the crowded nature of the debate stage, some candidates said the Republican Party should consider changes to the format in the weeks and months ahead.

After a debate in which the candidates seemed to spend more time sparring with the moderators than with each other, the chairman of the Republican National Committee declared that CNBC, the host network, “should be ashamed.”
