The Politics of Planting via Hot Air.
It is no wonder most people distrust the media and politicians. It turns out that most of the people Wolf Blitzer called, "undecideds" in last week's CNN debate were former Democratic operatives and interns, and leaders of interest groups sympathetic to the Democratic Party. I can understand the argument that the questioners maybe undecided about their choice of Democratic candidate so why not say "Undecided Democratic voters" instead of giving the illusion that the questioners were on the fence between voting Republican or Democrat.

Also what's with the prescreened questions. Wasn't this the "YouTube- You Ask the Questions" debate? I guess prescreening prevents candidates from having to answer the tough questions like,"Boxers or Briefs" or "Brooks Brothers or J. Press." People are sick of politics and we are still a year out. The same goes for the Republican debate on Wednesday. I will be watching you CNN. I beg you, no more softballs please. This post sounds too much like something from the Huffington Post or Kos. Enjoy!!
