Ben Carson Slams ‘Obscure Network’ CNBC: ‘They Obviously Had an Agenda’

In an interview with Fox News’ The Kelly File following Wednesday’s presidential debate, Ben Carson slammed CNBC for having a “bias” and “an agenda.”

“Well, I think they obviously had an agenda,” Carson said. “And when I compare them to the kind of questions that were asked of the Democrats in their debate, the difference is night and day. But the thing that was really encouraging to me is that the audience was able to pick up on the bias and they were able to act accordingly.”

“I hope some of the media is starting to recognize this,” he continued. “Because, as you know, I have been quite critical of the media. They have their own agenda, they try to formulate the opinions of the people, and I think that people are getting a little sick and tired of it.”

Host Megyn Kelly then asked Carson if he thought he was hurt by the lack of time he got during the debates. “I’m not sure that that many people even watched the debate. I mean, it’s on against the World Series, and it’s on an obscure network,” he laughed. “So, I mean, good luck with that.”
