GOP criticized for choosing ‘DNC’s propaganda arm’ to host third debate.
Is the Republican Party Making a Mistake by Letting NBC Host a Debate?
There is absolute wisdom to be found in the adage, “Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.”
Even given that, the Republican party might be taking this a tad too far.
Because as of late, when the party isn’t openly talking about the possibility of fraternizing with their harshest critics … they’re actually fraternizing with their harshest critics.
On Monday, NBC News announced that it would be hosting the third Republican primary debate, slated to be held Nov. 8 in Miami.
Had this been, say, 1993, sure — go for it. Believe it or not, once upon a time, NBC News was worthy of its “prestige cable” reputation.
But in 2023? NBC News is little more than a DNC apparatus that loves to spew leftist propaganda of both the obvious and subliminal varieties.
The announcement was swiftly met with all manner of disgust and consternation from various corners of online conservatism.
Newsmax host Rob Schmitt echoed the concerns about the DNC connections.
NBC is basically the propaganda arm of the DNC. And they’re getting a Repub debate. https://t.co/H0AtF3zNft

“NBC is basically the propaganda arm of the DNC,” Schmitt posted to X. “And they’re getting a [Republican Primary] debate.”
One X user responded to Schmitt: “Why would the RNC agree to debate on NBC? RNC needs new leadership.”
Other X users pointed out the idiocy of the GOP willingly working with NBC News:
Have you EVER seen a Democrat debate hosted by Fox News?
No. And you never will. Because they’re not fn stupid. https://t.co/C2j0goR3GW

“Have you EVER seen a Democrat debate hosted by Fox News?” one X user asked. “No. And you never will. Because they’re not fn stupid.”
A different X user responded to the above post, noting the genuine animosity that the left-leaning NBC has for even lower-case “c” conservatives:
I don’t understand why Republicans continue to do this. These people hate us and want the R base jailed. Why allow them to host a debate?

This X user asked: “I don’t understand why Republicans continue to do this. These people hate us and want the R base jailed. Why allow them to host a debate?”
A different X user responded directly to the NBC News X announcement, aptly calling out the Republican National Committee for “placating” to establishment media shills:
Republicans agreeing to have NBC news host a debate is why they lose elections. Stop placating to the MSM.

To put all of these X posts another way: What possible incentive would NBC News have to make any of the GOP primary candidates look good?
As unlikely as some of them are to win it, they’re all technically potential options to oust the doddering octogenarian currently occupying the Oval Office.
If anything, NBC News is highly incentivized to make all of the GOP primary candidates look as bad as possible, so as to best ensure that the presidency remains controlled by a Democrat (whomever that ends up being).

It’s also worth noting that NBC has yet to announce moderators — but looking at their roster, it’s hard to envision who exactly will give Republicans a fair and fighting chance during this debate.
Given all the above, it’s more than fair to question RNC leadership at this point in time.
The party appears as fractured and dysfunctional as its ever been — two rather undesirable traits given that there’s a general election just 13 months away.
Once all this dust settles and with — hopefully — a Republican occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, it’ll be high time for the GOP to do some serious introspection.

What are the potential risks of the RNC playing along with the charade and allowing NBC News to host the Republican primary debate?

Why is the RNC playing along with this charade? There are plenty of conservative platforms that would love to host a Republican primary debate. How about @RealCandaceO hosting? Now that would be interesting. #RNCDebate

“Why is the RNC playing along with this charade?” Kyle Morris asked. “There are plenty of conservative platforms that would love to host a Republican primary debate. How about @RealCandaceO hosting? Now that would be interesting.”
These reactions from conservative voices highlight a valid concern: by allowing NBC News to host the third Republican primary debate, the Republican Party risks being subjected to biased questioning and manipulation of the narrative. NBC News has a well-documented history of promoting left-leaning views and pushing an agenda that aligns with the Democratic Party. Hosting a debate on their platform could potentially give the moderators the opportunity to influence the discussion in a way that unfairly favors the Democratic candidates and undermines the Republican candidates.
Furthermore, the decision to have NBC News host the debate raises questions about the Republican Party’s judgment and decision-making. It seems counterintuitive for a political party to willingly collaborate with a media outlet that has shown a clear bias against their values and principles. By blindly accepting NBC News as the host, the Republican Party risks legitimizing a partisan organization and validating their biased reporting.
There are plenty of conservative media outlets and platforms that would be better suited to host a Republican primary debate. These outlets would provide a more balanced and fair environment for the candidates to present their views and engage in substantive discussions. It would be a missed opportunity for the Republican Party to not take advantage of these alternative platforms that would not only ensure a more neutral setting but also attract conservative viewers who might otherwise be skeptical of the mainstream media.
It is not uncommon for political parties to carefully consider the host and venue of their debates to ensure fairness and impartiality. The Republican Party should follow suit and reconsider their decision to allow NBC News to host the upcoming debate. In doing so, they would demonstrate a commitment to transparency and integrity in the electoral process. It would send a strong message that they are not willing to compromise their values or be manipulated by biased media organizations.
Ultimately, the Republican Party must weigh the potential risks and consequences of letting NBC News host a primary debate. They should prioritize the credibility and fairness of the debate and carefully choose a host that can provide an unbiased and balanced platform for the
