Hannity Wants To Moderate A Republican Debate - With Rush Limbaugh And Mark Levin, Too

Sean Hannity was “all in” for Ted Cruz’ suggestion that Hannity, Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh moderate a Republican debate.

In a post-debate interview on the Hannity show, Cruz complained about the CNBC moderators. “How about a debate moderated by Sean Hannity and Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh?” Cruz suggested. “Now that would be a debate.”

“I’m in,” Hannity readily answered. “And I think I can speak for the other two – they’re in as well. I do agree with you because these questions are downright hostile. And I believe this was a horrible night for the news media and in many instances tonight a disgrace to the profession of journalism.”

If that isn’t throwing stones from a glass house, I don’t know what is. Because it’s hard to think of anyone who’s a bigger disgrace to the profession of journalism than Sean Hannity.

At the end of the segment, Hannity repeated his eagerness to moderate a GOP debate. “I would be all in for a moderated debate with me, Rush and Mark. If they’re on board, I’ll ask Reince Priebus [RNC head] if he’s willing to do so,” Hannity said.

Watch it below, from the October 28 Hannity.

You’d get a very serious, issue oriented debate, that would help Republican voters see the serious differences between the candidates. Republican debates should be about helping Republican voters decide who to support.

Yes! Let Hannity, Lavin and Limbaugh “moderate” the debates — All of them! Most Americans aren’t foolish enough to spend any time listening or watching these Anti-American kooks so it will be a real education for the sane to watch them spoon feed the other Anti-American kooks!

The Banana Republicans are already on their way to loosing in an historical landslide to Hillary so whatever crazy stuff they do from here on is only worth the laughs anyway.

Hannity has never claimed to be a journalist.

When a moderator lies to try and embarrass a candidate that is more than bias…and Harwood lied twice. This isn’t about politics, it’s about a journalist trying to mislead the public and that is unacceptable.

Where were the “hostile” questions for the democratic party? The moderators should be asking questions that actually pertain to policies that are in conflict in America. Oppose to attacking the candidates.

A debate moderated by hacks like Hannity, Limbaugh, and Levin would provide enough soundbites to hand the election to the Democrats on a silver platter.

They’re so much better off when they have tough, maybe even antagonistic, questions hurled at them. (Think: “Hillary at the Benghazi grilling.”) Last night, Rubio, with Trump and Kasich to a lesser extent, was astute enough to play it the right way. The rest are simply incapable of change.

Well now, Seannie Poo — if these repub presidential candidates can’t stand up to hostile questioning by the news media, how can we expect them to be able to stand up to the terrorists?

Those three running a debate? Kinda like the Three Stooges running a fire department.

@thx4fish. I agree. Listening to these GOPiggy clowns whine endlessly about tough questions brings back memories of Spiro Agnew and “nattering nabobs of negativism.”

Hannity, Levin, and Limbaugh all have something in common: No degrees in journalism. Heck, Limbaugh and Hannity are both college drop-outs so their B.S. is in b.s.. However, they all share the obvious credentials in Republican eyes that they’re foaming right-wingers.

In your live stream thread I’ve documented clearly unbiased “Fox & Friends” doing their CNBC-bashing using the standard liberal mainstream media line of thickly sliced baloney. It continues to get worse with GOPTV™ as they’re now bringing in the candidates for softballs and a circle-jerk on how biased everyone but GOPTV™ is. Thus far Rubio, Christie, and Huckabee (being softballed on the topic as I type this) have all grinned ear-to-ear as they get to pile on the mainstream media, bash Hillary, and preach their campaign sermon to the choir.

What right-wing propaganda factory Fox News continually ignores is that the liberal mainstream media they’re constantly in a lather over is the exact same media liberals are always in a lather over decrying as being the conservative corporate media.

What a hoot. ;^)

The real problem is that FOX news always gives their REPUBLICAN FRIENDS A FREE PASS on ALL THE ASSININE THINGS THEY SAY and then blame the main stream media for being MEAN AND CRUEL AND Unfair!

Crybabies. And Hannity is not a news journalist, he’s an opinion mouthpiece.

If Cruz and the other Repubs want a friendly moderator to ask easy questions, then the candidates should just ask their moms or spouses to host the thing ;). I think the Repubs have been in their bubble too long. They think tough questions and being held accountable is ‘hostile’ The media SHOULD be challenging all candidates, even the ones who whine and cry the loudest.
