Liberal Media Bias & the 2016 GOP Debate Broken Down with Angelo Carusone

Did ‘liberal media bias’ ruin CNBC coverage of the GOP debate, and have ‘gotcha’ questions tainted election coverage leading up to 2016? We examine media slant in the presidential campaign-from Fox News handling of Benghazi and Hillary Clinton, to Becky Quick taking Carly Fiorina to task over her facts-with Angelo Carusone of Media Matters. Has Marco Rubio grown out of the shadow of Jeb Bush once and for all? Will media misrepresentation cost the American public dearly when it comes time to elect the new president? Find out what’s behind the news on this uncensored Media Mayhem, hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.
