TYT: CNBC Debate Fact Checking: Carly Fiorina

[WhoIsNumberNone]

The thirty-seven Republican candidates on stage last night threw out a ton of facts and figures. It’s hard to know what’s true and what’s false, especially with Carly "Fastest Liar in the West" Fiorina involved. Fear not, John Iadarola (Think Tank), Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show Podcast), and Margaret Howell (The Lip TV), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Carly Fiorina has a long history of playing fast and loose with numbers, even those that have been debunked, and she was at it again in tonight's GOP debate. Among other things, Fiorina accused Hillary Clinton of hypocrisy because, Fiorina said, the policies she supports are unequivocally bad for women…

It's not actually an original line. The Republican National Committee developed the statistic when Mitt Romney ran against Obama in 2012. And fact-checkers found that while it's not totally untrue, it's quite deceptive. Between January 2009 and March 2012 there was a net loss of 740,000 jobs. And during that time, women had a net job loss of 683,000, which is 92 percent of the total.”*

2. Notice how the Repub candidates are all throwing out the "liberal media" canard all the time now?

Gotta love them. Here's a group of people who will be around a radio all day, listening to Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity and the like, come home and watch Faux Snooze on the TV and get together with their like-minded friends and bitch about the liberal media.

They have no sense of irony.

The TYT panel said it best at the end when they noted that the moderators - supposedly journalists - hardly called out any of the lies spewed from the candidates during the debate - and the debate was full of lies. By failing to do this, they just let all of the candidates say anything, and it will resonate with the audience who will spread the lies with their circles of friends and colleagues.

People only hear what they want to hear and facts be damned. They listen to "news" for affirmation, not information, and they know what media they can access to accomplish this.
