The big buzz all over talk radio, TV, written and internet press, is the debate last night on CNN. While the premise was promising and good, the practice was woefully malpracticed. I thought months ago that a YouTube debate would be a good idea, but since it was the Clinton News Network that orchastrated it, well, we saw the results. Democrat(ic)/Socialist plants, the questions pulled for viewing from the most far out there on either political wing idiots. I turned it off after the first 'quarter'. I was disqusted though not suprised by the lack of a real Presidential debate.
I do believe that the average American should be allowed to be heard and question the candidates, but the questionaires were often the most 'extreme', not the average American.
Not sure if I could trust any media outlet to give an unbiased version of a YouTube debate in the future. I think Fox News would be the best venue in the current political climate of media biased companies and organizations.
Now let's see how and if CBS can pull of a decent DNC debate. I won't hold my breath.
