After spending the day facing accusations it stacked the deck against the Republican presidential contenders by having Democratic backers ask video questions during its debate, CNN on Thursday responded that it doesn't know what the fuss is all about.
The cable news network, in collaboration with video Web site YouTube, hosted the Wednesday night debate that had more than 30 voters pose questions to the Republican candidates. It later turned out that several of those questioners are actively supporting Democratic candidates.
"The whole point of these ground-breaking CNN/YouTube debates is to focus on substantive questions of concern to real people and to throw open the process to a wider range of Americans all around the country. CNN cared about what you asked, not who you were. This was the case for both the Democratic and the Republican CNN/YouTube debates," CNN said in a statement issued late in the day.

So, when the Dems debate they will let Republicans ask quetions of Hillary?
How about "In light of your husband's experiences, has your opinion on strict enforcement of sexual harassment in the workplace changed?"
Or "Do you still believe it is rare for woman to lie about being raped?"
real republicans were denied the opportunity to ask questions of importance to them.
GOOD POINT. Thanks CNN, just buying time for your favorite candidate, F*** America.
We must ask ourselves: What Would Chris Farley Ask?
I said it last night about Cooper, now about David Bohrman: Bohrman is a liar.
Check that: a worthless liar.
National health care, two supreme court appointments to swing the court hard left, ending the war on terror, implementing global socialism. We shouldn’t split hairs on who to vote for in this one. Whoever get the nod we just got to hold are nose and support until they get elected.
the alternative is too hideous to contemplate.
I’m with ya, even think just seeing a Clinton/Julianne debate would be entertainment enough.
We should never do another YouTube debate. This was a disgrace. If the ClintonNN can’t ask their own Biased questions, tough.

To be fair, Ann Coulter gets to ask all the questions at the next dim debate.
CNN is full of gas.
Real people have a lot of different concerns. CNN packed
the debate with Special Interest activists that represented
narrow selfish advantage.
Thanks for opening this thread
You forgot the Broad in the Burka who asked why Islam hated America and what we were going to do. What about the disgusting cartoon of Cheney? What a disgrace.
Were any questions asked by Republicans??

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Its about misrepresentation..aka lying. That is what CNN does best. and that is the fuss.
Traitorous jerks!
“Unfortunately Fox is a shill for Guliani...so it seems the pot calling the kettle black”
Liar. Provide some proof, any proof. ANY. You can’t because it’s a lie. I’m so sick of these lies on FR. This used to be a good site until liars were allowed to make BS claims unchallenged because the sheeple that now populate this site follow in lockstep like a bunch of bobbleheads.
What indeed?
I would like to see a debate with the candidates from both parties. Let them ask each other the questions.
The Clinton Chinese Mafia is getting sloppy. Harpy is looking like a Baffoon. Does she want to draw attention to her Lezbo Eruptions?
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
Even Josef Goebbels admitted that he was producing propaganda.
So does this mean the next Dem debate, republicans get to ask questions? Thought not.
