Just got through watching the CNN/YouTube debate. A few reaxes:
First, all the GOP candidates ran right over Anderson Cooper. AC failed to ask Rudy Giuliani, for example, a follow-up to the hottest story of the day, about Rudy's expenses.
Second, CNN seemed determined to flog its own liberal line--which, in turn, had two elements:
A) Present the Republican YouTubers, whenever possible, to look as thuggish as possible: the questions were heavy on gun owners and Confederate flag displayers.
B) Push its own agenda, as with the gay general, who got not only a lengthy YouTube question, but also got to stand up and trash the Republican field. And there was another question, too, starring Log Cabin Republicans.
Nothing wrong with gays, of course, but La Cooper seemed to be pushing his point of view too hard.
