I'm looking for information regarding a CNN planted question
at the recent debate. A student made this accusation, and it was a few hours ago linked to from Drudge, but now has disappeared. I was unable to access the site until apparently the story was taken off, and can not find anywhere else.

4. For those who don't click through: it was the Mac vs PC question.
Wonder if this is true (which I'm inclined to believe) or if she's just trying to save face.

If it's true, I wonder if any of the other questioners were told what to ask.

I wonder why people are so unwilliing just to ignore CNN producers. It's not like they would have sued her had she asked her own question. Is she afraid she would have ended up on a black list?

5. Which brings up a couple of good questions:
What would young Americans have preferred to ask if CNN had given them the chance? And was the boxer or briefs question asked to Clinton also a planted question?

7. I saw an interview with the "boxers or briefs" girl recently
"I just thought some women might like to know" she quipped vacuously

So it seems she thought of that one all by her lonesome. No blaming CNN for that bit of stupidity.

6. It was a show and they produced it.
Long gone are the days of League of Women Voters debates
pre-party involvement and now network involvement.

8. but Anderson Cooper told the kids to "keep things real"
he must have meant read our fake questions accurately.

The supposed email about Hillary Clinton seemed fake too.
