The Republican National Committee announced they have suspended their debate on the NBC Network in February. This move comes as outrage spread across the media Thursday over CNBC’s handling of this week’s Republican Presidential debate in Boulder, Colorado.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus sent an open letter to Andrew Lack, chairman of NBC News, declaring they are suspending the partnership because the CNBC debate had been conducted “in bad faith.”
Priebus wrote, “We understand that NBC does not exercise full editorial control over CNBC’s journalistic approach. However, the network is an arm of your organization, and we need to ensure there is not a repeat performance.” NBC news called the statement a “disappointing development,” saying “we will work in good faith to resolve this matter with the Republican Party.”
A spokesman for Republican candidate Ben Carson said in an email to The Daily Caller, ““We have no objections to the RNC’s decision. The debates must focus on the American voters and not on network ratings of moderator egos.”
