The CNN Debate That Got Some Questions from Youtube
The CNN debate that got some questions from Youtube is an interesting topic. The definition of debate is being expanded. It now also means, "getting a few people together who share a zero sum goal and have people who hate them embarrass them and verbally abuse them while everyone there foolishly pretends they are engaged in a serious and honest enterprise." CNN says it is a news organization but seems more interested in presenting entertainment and working out their hate for Republicans. The fact is that these candidates continue to regularly place themselves in a no win situation that makes them look like fools. It seems they will sell their self-respect for a little air time. I have come to question the values and judgment of every one of them. And if the Republican party had much judgment or self-respect none of them would tune in to CNN and thereby reward CNN's dishonest spitefulness. You might say that CNN just never vetted the questioners. And I reply that an actual news organization would have vetted the questioners. An actual news organization would not have even thought about it: they would have just done it.

I agree about CNN's agenda. After seeing Fox News achieve the highest TV ratings among cable news networks for the 7th straight year, I don't think CNN is even trying to compete anymore. Why? Any effort would be futile. I never tune in to CNN. I don't even skim past the channel. The same goes for MTV. I heard whatever I needed to hear about the debates from soundbites on Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity's radio shows.
