Clinton, CNN and Fall out from the Debate
Rick Moran

Hillary Clinton's performance at the Las Vegas debate has been overshadowed by charges of planted questions, a planted audience, and curious behavior by CNN that seemed to favor Clinton over other candidates.

In football, you've probably heard of "the 12th man." Well, last night, Hillary definitely had home field advantage. I can't think of another debate, ever, where the audience was allowed to take control of the debate to this extent. By allowing this to occur, CNN was essentially helping guarantee a Hillary advantage.

So why was it allowed to occur?

But it wasn't enough for CNN to help Hillary during the debate. By booking pro-Clinton "independent analysts" like James Carville and David Gergen, they ensured the post-debate spin would go her way. Obviously, both Carville and Gergen have worked for Bill Clinton -- Carville in the campaign and Gergen in the Administration. How on earth could they be deemed to be impartial analysts?

Curious indeed. And the fact that CNN apparently vetted and approved every question asked by the audience also calls into question their impartiality.

There was also the case of a woman who is an activist for the group Move America Forward - another "average voter" - who got to make a statement against striking Iran thinly disguised as a question.

All of these questions - and others involving how the tickets for the event were given out - have to be dealt with by both Mrs. Clinton and CNN. At stake; Clinton's candidacy and CNN's credibility as an unbiased news source.
