I don't really have much of an answer to your questions, SeaBreeze. I don't know what political affiliation Megan Kelly is, and I heard Trump complain about Megan Kelley's question during the debate, but didn't hear any other republican candidates complain about the questions during the debate, but I might have missed them.

Two interesting articles about the Republican Debate #3
Anderson Cooper: ‘Poorly Produced’ CNBC Debate ‘Made It Easy’ for GOPers to Attack Media
by Josh Feldman | 9:26 pm, October 29th, 2015
Anderson Cooper, who moderated the first Democratic debate, had some less-than-positive things to say about the CNBC debate last night.
Pretty much everyone piled on CNBC and the moderators for superficial questions, and tonight Cooper said of the media attacks, “I certainly think those moderators gave them a lot of ammunition and really made it very easy, because I do think some of the questions just seemed kind of obvious ones that they could be attacked on.”
David Gergen agreed and talked about the influence of Fox, and Cooper used the opportunity to call it “laughable” that Fox News isn’t part of the mainstream media.
Brian Stelter said if there was any kind of bias at work last night, it was the media’s conflict bias. Cooper added that the debate was “poorly produced” and the moderators “didn’t even have the quotes to back up what they were saying.”

CNBC’s Harwood Now Media Bias Poster Boy After Career-Altering ‘Moderating’ of GOP Debate
by Joe Concha | 12:02 pm, October 29th, 2015
I had to watch it again. I had to make sure I witnessed what I just witnessed.
And upon absorbing the whole thing and double checking my notes from watching last night and again this morning before sunrise, they were practically identical. Conclusion: CNBC, a solid niche network with solid talent, just performed the worst moderation of any debate — and we’re including all presidential, vice presidential, fictional… the one from Old School (Will Ferrell’s Frank the Tank vs. James Carville moderated by Jeremy Piven’s Dean Pritcher), the one from Clueless (Alicia Silverstone vs Amber on the plight of Haitian refugees) — in American history

The whole thing was just laughable (at least the parts I saw). Maybe someday someone will talk about the issues . . . .

Yet, in spite of it all, I have read remarks elsewhere slamming the network and moderators for being pro democrat????
