CNN-Youtube Debates

Ever since the Democratic and Republican debates were broadcasted live last year, there has been much criticism in regards to how CNN handled the questions and candidates during the debate. A lot of people believe that both of the debates were a waste of time, money, and oxygen. And the fact that petty questions such as "which baseball team do you like" and "are you a libral" were asked during the debate showed that CNN didn't give a rat's buttocks on which video question they posted. And for those of you who haven't noticed, the candidates were arranged [from the center outward and from greatest to least] by how much money they paid CNN.

Here is a video response to the Democratic debate posted by a sock puppet who seems to have beef with CNN. The video responses for the Republican debate were no different.

Personally, I also think that CNN has been unfair in terms of how they handled the questions and the candidates. This is why I don't watch the news for information. And on top of that, here is Gravel [a presidential hopeful] and his personal video response about the situation with CNN and how CNN "snookered" Youtube.

***NOTE***

This thread is not intended to start a flame war in regards to either the Democrats and the Republicans. This is just to prove a point as to why CNN is at the bottom of my list in terms of which channels I watch the most [the Sci Fi channel is at the top of my list].

Sorry, Kat, I know your intentions were good but this can only go one way.. and that's political.
