Blatant (Pro-Bush) Bias by CBS in debate podium position assignments for 2/13 SC debate

Trump to be flanked by Cruz on one side and BUSH on the other

WTF ???!!!

I no longer have a dog in this hunt, given that Rand has suspended and none of the remaining candidates is even remotely palatable--

but this result shows in a clear way that the media / establishment are trying to game the result of the election

There is no rational formula based on past results, or current National or SC polling averages, by which Bush outranks rivals to be placed this close to center

Waterboy in particular must be really pissed; he ranks third in current delegate count, AND in national and SC poll averages, but he is farther from center than Bush; in fact has been placed only one place inboard of outside spot.

(delegate count: Trump 17, Cruz 11, Rubio 10, Kasich 5, Bush 4, Carson 3)

Kasich is ahead of Bush in delegate count (5 vs. 4), beat Bush soundly in NH (2nd vs. 4th), and came in only slightly behind Bush in IA (7th vs. 6th); so he was disadvantaged as well

Well its no surprise to most here they are never impartial. It is interesting that RUbio is put outside bush. Shows that the establishment does not trust his debate performance since he blew it on the last one. Maybe if people do not hear from him as much they might forget about the last time.

The other thing is they are really hoping Bush places well in SC and takes Florida, after all he was its governor. If he and Rubio lose that state its all Trump. Even worse if Cruz places higher than either of them in Florida they are finished as it looks bad to say that they can not even win their own state,they once represented.

They are in a 6 man debate, so there is no "middle". Both Trump and Cruz share the middle, and Rubio happens to be on Cruz's side rather than Trump's. The ranking is:
1. Trump
2. Cruz
3. Rubio
4. Bush
5. Carson
6. Kasich

Who cares? It's all just a show at this point anyways. They are all on the same side and it sure as hell isn't mine.

We've always known that the mainstream media are biased against certain candidates. That's nothing new. Look at what they've done to Sen. Paul, for instance:
