Irony

Variety reports CNBC had its largest audience ever for the GOP debate last night. In other words, many people who seldom or never watch the cable network were tuned in.

Is it not massively ironic that when CNBC had an opportunity to make a good first impression, they made instead a terrible one? In the vernacular, this is called "shooting yourself in the foot."

Sadly, no branch of the Comcast NBCUniversal empire appears free from left-leaning bias. The GOP apparently thought a "business channel" would lean right. However, as someone wisecracked recently, business channels have become mouthpieces for crony capitalism, and pro-amnesty like the WSJ.
