LIVENING UP THE DEBATES….PC or Mac? According to this LA Times story, CNN planted the question:
[Alexandra] Trustman wrote Monday that she was called the morning of the debate and given the topic of the question the CNN producers wanted her to ask. She wrote that she was “confused by the question’s relevance,” and constructed what she thought was a “much more relevant” question.
But when she arrived in Boston for the debate, she wrote, she was “handed a note card” with the question and told she couldn’t ask her alternative “because it wasn’t lighthearted enough and they wanted to modulate the event with various types of questions.”
CNN planted a question and this was the best they could do?
