TYT: CNBC Debate Fact Checking: Trump, Ben Carson, Bobby Jindal

[WhoIsNumberNone]

There were several whoppers told at last night’s GOP debate. The so-called hyper-partisan “liberal media” sat and watched most of them fly by. 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.

"The Republican candidates met once again, and we found several claims worthy of fact-checking. Here are some of the highlights from the debate:

- Former CEO Carly Fiorina claimed that 92 percent of the job losses in President Obama’s first term belonged to women, but women — and men — gained jobs by the end of Obama’s first term.
- Businessman Donald Trump disputed the idea that he had criticized Sen. Marco Rubio and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for supporting H-1B visas. In fact, Trump’s immigration plan, posted on his website, is critical of both of them.
- Trump also claimed his campaign was 100 percent self-funded, but more than half of the money his campaign has raised came from supporters’ contributions.
- Fiorina blamed the Affordable Care Act for a large disparity in firm closings versus openings every year. But closings outnumbered firm births by the widest margin in 2009, a year before the law was enacted.”*
