I don't quite understand the use of the word "embarrassed" , but that's what Alan Colmes and Harold Ford Jr (both democrats) are saying (as well as of course the republicans), but are the liberals on here going to Defend CNN? I dont care they let a liberal ask a question to the republicans, why not? but it does make you wonder right?? did i miss the republican questions at the Democratic youtube debate? (i saw another question regarding this and some people answered sarcastically, like big deal... well i agree, but it has go to BOTH WAYS... typical liberal answer, they can do it, but conservatives can't...)

All of the other news networks are attacking CNN now, but that's to be expected. They are competitors.
But what is not expected is the extent to which the liberals are defending CNN by saying that they are not disturbed by the fact that CNN was using DNC operatives and staff members to ask questions in a Republican debate without disclosing who these people were.
CNN has even removed one of the questions from it's rebroadcast. (admission of guilt perhaps?)
How liberals can defend this with a straight face is beyond me......
Imagine if Fox news did this.

The issue is not the questions, as dopey as they were. The questioners misrepresented themselves. One is a member of a steering committee for Hillery, the others stated they were Republicans when in fact they are Edwards and Obama supports. They should have been up front. They were there to make the candidates look bad. The questions had nothing really to do with the issues that are really facing the Nation.

I didn't catch Harold Ford/Colmes (who is clearly a joke)... so maybe you can clarify?
what didn't they ask, specifically, that they should have asked?
and I was on here last night during the debate and just afterward... and the vast majority of Republicans were saying how surprised they were that CNN did a good job?
but now that you've all ran to fox news so it can tell you how to think, your stories have changed?

To answer your question. No, the press release by CNN defends the issues you raised on their debate last night.
Welcome to the paradoxical world of the DNC....err CNN....err Clinton News Network (the most distrusted name in news)

I'm fine with Republicans claiming "conspiracy" on this one...
I mean really, if they can't answer the questions very well and have to blame someone... fine...
I think the facts that Fox (and other networks) see that they can make ratings out of it and Republicans want to claim the question was "not fair" are very telling.
Why wouldn't a gay veteran support Hillary???
Republicans are just mad that their candidates don't have a way to convince him of why he shouldn't.

They should be embarrassed. If FOX News had pulled what CNN did last night, people would be all over them.

Libs have no spine, no courage to answer tough questions, no ability to debate anyone based on the FACTS of an issue... and of course... just like their buddies at the Clinton News Network....
They have no shame as well.

CNN, embarrassed? Doubt it. They cater to the UN types.
