"Agenda."
Laura Ingraham had on one of the CNN folks this morning, and he said that there was no agenda apart from trying to choose those questions that would be most important to Republican voters, and that he had NO IDEA what the fuss was about.
Allow me to offer an analogy.
An old white lady decides to invite the new black couple across the street to dinner. She decides to prepare a meal that black people would enjoy. When her guests arrive, they see the spread, ask "what the hell is this?" and turn and leave, obviously insulted. The old white lady is stunned. Why would they be insulted? After all, she prepared food that she knew black people love: fried chicken and watermelon.
The depth and persistence of Eastern Liberal Cluelessness never ceases to amaze. |

So exactly what were the Democrats afraid of in the now-defunked FoxNews debate ? |

Had CNN used Republican activists at the Democrat debate a couple of weeks ago, they would have a defensible position. But they used Democrat activists — people who want to see the Democrats look good — with the Dem candidates and people who want to make the Republicans look bad with the Republican candidates.
Anyone who claims this is fair, proper, or not at all indicative of an agenda is lying to you.

That was kinda the point I was trying to make in this thread.Further, and even more damning, is that even taking CNN at their word, that they chose these questions reveals much about their mindset. CNN thinks a question asked by a committed Clinton/Obama/Edwards supporter is representitive of the undecided [republican] voter. The only way one could come to that conclusion, is if one is also and already, a committed Clinton/Obama/Edwards supporter. |

I have always been rather puzzled about these so-called debates. Why are they sponsored by anyone other than the political parties themselves? Why don’t the respective parties organize their own debates, set the format themselves, and invite whichever media organizations they choose? On the other hand, I would not be surprised if noone in the Republican or Democratic parties had the competence to do so. |

It’s back to the "Fake but Accurate" mantra, or the "Seriousness of the charges outweighs the volume of evidence".
Was Dan Rather a consultant to CNN? |

It’s lovely to watch how the media first decides the story for each candidate then, for the next year, their idea of fair reporting is to do everything they can to reinforce that view.
Some network needs to start doing real work. Keep a running total of how much each candidates’ pandering proposals would cost if implemented (I’d tune in to see those numbers rising daily). Produce a self-contradiction index. Chart how many words each candidate can spew without saying anything concrete. This is the kind of work I think the networks can handle. |

"Well, that’s what the Democrat did in their debate, wasn’t it?"
Obviously I am not paying much attention to the whole election process thus far. It still puzzles me though, how CNN or any other organization has all the candidates and the parties jumping through hoops. It just seems to me that news organizations are supposed to cover events, not stage them. |

CNN will stay focused on what the candidates are saying about the pressing issues facing this country at a critical time in our history. The Confederate flag? |

The Left had absolutely no right injecting into the political process of nomination of an opposing party.
Had they pulled this "dirty trick: during the general election debates they may have had a leg to stand on.
This was beyond the pale and cannot be defended or justified.
And while Hillary’s campaign takes the brunt of the heat over the gay general plant, we get "Flare-gate" as a typical Clinton Ops diversionary tactic...(removing tinfoil hat now) |

On the other hand, if the Republicans are stupid enough to let their opponents set the terms and conditions of their communication with their own voters, they deserve anything they get. |
