CNN, the Mosr Busted Name in News.

I'm a little disappointed that conservative spokesmen on this CNN debate issue are only talking about the guy being a Hilary supporter who asked a question. This allows the democrats (as I just saw on Hannity) to eventually ask what's the big deal, it's still just a question?

The republicans aren't mentioning that CNN broke its own debate rules by giving the guy a microphone in the audience, and allowing him to attack all of the republicans as a group, AFTER they answered his question. This outrageous behavior by CNN, combined with the guy being a Hilary supporter, clinches the issue.

Seesh, should read-

CNN, the Most Busted Name in News.

[Cicero]

Can Podhoretz really be dumb enough to think that CNN didn’t know exactly who these people were? It HAD to be deliberate cheating in both debates. ALL of the questioners were bogus.

CNN has so many plants, it should be renamed “The Botany Channel”.

The gay general was really a California National Guard retired colonel.

Another great job by Anderson Pooper of CNN!!!!

Discussion of “Clinton News Network” followup. Now you know why I ignore the airport monitors broadcasting their drivel to the sheeple.

He wasn’t just a Hillary “supporter”. He works for her campaign... That’s a bit more serious...

[Williams]

Yes I agree entirely, that is part of the scandal, I’m just saying that when CNN gave him a mic and a special platform from the audience which no one else had, that magnifies the scandal.

ROTFL!!!!

Why couldn’t a candidate have the cajones to tell that rambling gay retired general “OK, you did all these great things in the military for 40 years, so then how did it matter that you couldnt run around telling everyone you were a homosexual?” It is an army, not a dating service.

good question.

I had that same thought myself,why didn’t he come out sooner also Fox news is reporting that CNN paid his air fare to this debate.

Does anyone have an e-mail address foe Anderson Cooper?

One issue that has flown under the radar is that youtube posts terrorist videos and propaganda.

Very well put! I'm trying to see how "don't ask don't tell" made any difference at all in this guys career.

If CNN had been conscious about this, and had therefore been prudent about checking out the identities and preferences of the video questioners it had selected, it would have avoided plunging itself into a days-long spiral of embarrassment about the network’s lack of professionalism, absence of care, and spiraling unseriousness.

They are far from prudent and probably couldn't care less about whether they "embarrass themselves" or not. The liberals at CNN apparently enjoy flaunting their bias. I'm sure they don't see it as a "lack of professionalism", but as a bold statement (like the X over our VP). I'll bet the only ones talking about it will be preaching to the choir, anyway. (talk-radio and conservative websites).

CNN - They really are the Clinton News Network.

That being said, I felt the "questions" were answered very well despite the actual intention of CNN. (Yes, I know - I'm preaching to the choir.)

Here is a link to the CLIFF NOTES of the DEMOCRATIC DEBATE.

Really worth watching.

Cover your keyboard or put down your drink first.
