Well it didn't last long now did it. CNN managed to turn a novel and fresh approach into a sketchy affair of limited value, and all faster than you can say,"entertainment"or"waste of time."
Since this spectacle, CNN has been on the ropes about accusations of planted questioners from the other side but this thing made you think that maybe they had to go there just to find something pithy. After all, what we heard from the faithful included in-character cable-guy type questions about the 2nd amendment, guns guns and more guns, the confederate flag and the bible. I'm not talking about substantive questions either. These were Blue collar T.V. routines that showed people things that would, at the very least, make the out-of-character cable-guy cringe.
Instead of the suspected planted questions, Republicans should be furious about CNN's portrayal of them as a bunch of 6-toed inbreds. There were over 4000 questions to choose from; was this the best they could do? I don't think so, I think this is further evidence that CNN has lost it's way. Call me way too serious but I don't view the election process of the leader of my country as simply entertainment.
