[See NewsBusters for more.] MRC President Brent Bozell on Monday slammed CNBC’s biased presidential debate, mocking it as a "debacle." Appearing on Varney and Co., Bozell attacked, “I think it was a complete debacle for the entire NBC brand and frankly it was probably the final straw. There was like no pretense of objectivity here.” He continued, “It was intellectual dishonesty because had CNBC presented itself as a network that was going to have serious discussion on economic issues.” Varney and Bozell highlighted a new MRC study finding 65 percent of the questions to be personal insults or ad hominem attacks.
