I will tell you the reason it deals with politics...

B/c CNN is a hyper-liberal news organization that is constantly blaming others for misleading the public with biased reporting. CNN is adamantly against the Bush campaign, and will do just about anything to see that it is portrayed in a distasteful manner. That said, the girl SHOULD have made her OWN question up. She shouldn't have even attempted to turn her question into what they wanted. The boxers/briefs - PC/MAC questions are irrelevant to this issue. The issue is that CNN thinks they can deceive the youth of our nation by collaborating w/ MTV and the stupid-ass "ROCK THE VOTE" crap, and we will think their job is done. Meanwhile, they try to pull a fast one on us by manipulating the questions that we want asked, make us look like a bunch of slack-ass pansies, and the majority of us say, "HEY, Whats the big deal? Who cares? Lets smoke pot." So here is the problem... If you don't care about this... don't EVER complain about ANYTHING media/political/social again. EVER. The media is the one thing that forms opinion in this nation. It is solely responsible for reporting what WE think. And we just sit back and say, "Doesn't suprise me" Well screw that. I AM suprised, and I care. Did anyone hear the NPR show "This Democracy" with Mo Rocca? Well, could you tell the difference in the students who cared and those that were indifferent.. I could, they pissed me off. While this isn't a conservative/liberal debate, it is one that we need to look into. If you get a chance to be in any form of debate, and someone tells you to ask a certain question, DON"T.
