Next All Points: Debate control

The Republican National Committee has suspended planning for a Feb. 26 debate on NBC, part of the fallout from angry candidate protests over the way sister network CNBC handled the most recent debate.

During the Oct. 28 debate, Sen. Ted Cruz and others complained on-air about biased questioning and the way CNBC moderators were running the show, while aides raised a ruckus behind the scenes about some candidates not getting enough air time.

The candidates and the party want more control. Should network news people be participating at all?

Send no more than 150 words with your name, address and phone number to letters@star-telegram.com. Deadline is Wednesday.
