Then they select the questions.
Despite of all this, CNN has the temerity to pretend that these are "ordinary people" asking their own questions!
The NYT printed this?
Is there bad blood between them and CNN?
Am sick of hearing how this IS television - after all - and some control has to be made to 'fashion' or control at least some of content. Yes, no doubt they are worried about 'entertainment value' here. . .
Teh Reid connection is new, that means she was a Democrat insider, who whined on her blog because her College friends were disparaging her, and there is another questioner who was an Anti War activist.
That only leaves two other questioners left....
And the questions were all pre approved and required memorization, she said that, and Malveaux had to interject “Abortion” into one question about judicial appointmentsso CNN “knew” what the questions would be even to the point of editing them on the fly as the hand picked plants “forgot” what they were supposed to ask.
That is pitiful, I cannot wait until the last two questioners are exposed for the plants that they were!
This stinks to high heaven... and I just saw CNN’s Bill Schneider today fawning all over Hillary’s ‘performance’. (BARFFF!)
In the end she could have chosen to ask any question she wanted. Instead she played the game.
This is shaping up to be a drawn out train wreck!
The question should have been about Mrs Clinton approving of her worthless scumbag husband giving Monica a pearl necklace.
Maria...they’ll use you and toss you aside. You are scum now for talking to the media.
This “diamonds or pearls” question is a transparent attempt to mimic the “boxers or briefs” question asked husband Bill years ago. Yet you may recall that it was Monica whom he gave the pearl necklace.
The entire debate was a sham and a fraud, a complete set-up to make one candidate look good. Any people wonder why they call it the “Clinton News Network”.
This country has so much to lose right now that these types of scams and shams are a dis-service to the American people.
Why are we suprised at these antics? These dispicable media whores and their “step over thier dead grandmother to get a vote, liberals” all sleep in the same bed. Does this not bother anyone? They are deliberatley spitting in our faces and calling us idiots. Open your eyes America these people are dangerous and are not true Americans!
I thought Bush was “the liar, the faker, the fraud and the cheat”.
Just look at these phonies!
They always eat their own.
Despite CNN’s stacking the debate questions, their coverage post debate ran like a Clinton campaign. While they billed Hillary as once again unassailable having weather the one storm, they trashed her main rivals (all missed their one chance to ever dent Hillary) and also boosted the lesser rans as distinguished VP candidates for her ticket. Crowley and the Anderson Cooper sub (Soledad?) were horrid. Its little wonder the polls are so stacked to Hillary with little regard as to the fact the did 180 degree reversal on Spitzer’s DL plan. With that kind of ridiculous force-fed “reporting”. They failed to even point out she changed her position within a 1.5 week period giving no explanation and not even being asked about it.
