After suspending its partnership with NBC and accusing its moderators of displaying bias, the Republican National Committee is currently without a host network for its Feb. 26 presidential primary debate. Former Fox News host Glenn Beck feels the RNC's pain and wants to help, telling RNC chairman Reince Priebus in a letter Monday that his media company The Blaze could host the debate:

Our plan is straightforward. Rather than being moderated by journalists who ask all the questions, I will host, and I will invite the greatest new conservative thinkers and media voices in America to prepare and ask questions live and by video. Our panel will offer the candidates an opportunity to discuss substantial issues of importance with authentic answers that are thoughtful and elevating to the entire party. [The Blaze]
