The CNN/Youtube Democratic debate was horrible because a) almost all the videos submitted were incredibly weak, and b) CNN chose the weakest of the bunch. Rather than forcing those who want to be president of the U.S. to defend their policies, the candidates got off easy and were for the most part simply able to launch into their stump speeches.
This problem will continue in one form or another as long as CNN or another biased group is the gatekeeper.
The better way to choose the videos is to ask known quantities (such as bloggers and pundits who have reputations they would presumably want to protect) to rate the videos on their difficulty vs. their triviality or generality. Then, the most difficult videos would be selected.
Each individual rating would be made public. That way, those rating the videos could be held accountable for their selections. If they rate something incorrectly or refuse to rate some videos, they would hopefully face a hit to their credibility. Those rating the videos could also indicate whether they think the statements made on a video are inaccurate; that would be made public as well, and the videomaker and others could reply...

I'm looking for film/video or animation help to create a pro-life youtube question from a newborn.
The idea is to have a newborn (<1 year old) posing to ask what the candidate is going to do to protect unborn Americans from homicidal parents. I'd do it as a fetus, but they just aren't as cute. Maybe it could be an infant asking, but explaining that he/she won't look like this when the election happens, but he looks like this now {insert nice shot of fetus}.
Anyway, the child voice can explain that he/she wants to live, and maybe his/her daddy wants him/her to live, but 'mommy is into partying and I'm not convenient right now, so she wants to kill me.' Then ask what this candidate will do to protect 'me and {insert actual annual figure here} millions of other unborn Americans. We want to LIVE!'
You get the idea, I'm just looking for production help with the animation/filming/voice acting. Any help is appreciated.
