On Tuesday, all three network morning shows happily touted President Obama attacking Republicans at a Democratic fundraiser Monday night over GOP presidential candidates objecting to CNBC’s biased debate. At the top of NBC’s Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie proclaimed: “The Republican candidates, briefly unified, splinter again over their debate demands as President Obama takes a swipe, mocking the Republican field's beef with debate moderators.”

In the report that followed, correspondent Peter Alexander delcared “The President mocking them all last night,” before playing a soundbite of Obama playing to his left-wing New York audience: “And then it turns out they can't handle a bunch of CNBC moderators at a debate. If you can't handle those guys, you know, then I don't think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you.”
