CNN Presents Unfair
Debate To Paul, Huckabee In
California
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008
In Simi Valley, California, tonight,
a terrible mess was made. CNN broadcast a debate for the remaining
Republican candidates: Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Ron Paul, and
Mitt Romney. And during that debate, a 90-minute spectacle worse than
the censorship Huckabee and Paul saw on MSNBC, Mitt Romney was given
17 questions. John
McCain was given 15
questions. Mike Huckabee was given 11 questions. And Ron Paul was given
5 questions, and two half-questions from
which he was cut off, for a total of 6.
It started off a little something
like this. Anderson Cooper began the debate by saying, "The first
question is actually a question that will go to all of you, but I'll
start with Governor Romney." And that pretty much spoke the gist
of the entire debate.
Though Anderson presented it as if he
were giving Romney a hard time, the debate ended up like a trashy
daytime TV talk show, with Romney and McCain on center stage, arguing
with each other about little details like who said what about one
another. Romney, McCain, Romney, McCain, Romney McCain. It
is all CNN panelists knew how to say.
It is all that is on the front page of their
coverage of this right now. Romney, McCain, Romney, McCain.
Knock, knock, knock.
Hello? CNN?
There were four candidates sitting there? Anybody home?
We are going to be the anti-CNN and
attempt to recap this debate for you allotting equal speaking times
to each candidate. It would not, of course, be
complete without our sarcastic commentary: but, hey, we gave everyone a fair shot and watched the
whole damned thing.
These are organized by topic,
