You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
You heard about how they planted Hillary Supporters, right?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the real problem is that they give an inordinate amount of time to some candidates over others... and it's not even a real debate. They don't even ask each other questions!
Seeing as about half the questions in the Democratic Youtube debate were from Republicans, and one Democrat got to ask a question in this one (to be fair, there were two other questions where the party affiliation was unclear), I don't think we can accuse CNN of too much skullduggery. In fact the whole "media bias" argument is pretty ridiculous. It was true in 1980, but Reagan largely changed that, and Clinton finished the job. Even NPR's news content is pretty even these days. Seeing as Rudy is the only candidate to have his own personal news network, I don't think there is room for complaint.
