Nothing riles up the right-wing base like rallying against librul media bias and tonight’s garbage fire of a debate circus on CNBC provided the Republican presidential candidates, the conservative audience at Coors Event Center in Boulder, Colorado, and right-wingers on Twitter with more than enough anti-media fodder to pitch an epic two-hour fit.

Candy Crowley's very happy tonight that she will no longer go down in history as the worst #gopdebate moderator ever. #booedinboulder #CNBC

Wouldn't it be great if debate ends early with audience rioting, stealing microphones from moderators?
