Democrats.com & Rawstory covered the censoring of the impeachment question for the Youtube Debate

http://www.democrats.com/cnn-censors-impeachment-youtube

I found the link on rawstory.com.

And, the Community Counts board has invited me to issue a response to the two responses I received from Sen Edwards & Sen Dodd.

I have been working my response for two days, I wrote one & filmed another & still I am not happy with them. One was two light & the other too harsh. I will be putting up my response & link it & try to get it posted across the web later today. DU is always my first stop. Thanks to DU again for their support in getting this video requested.

4. I think that The Daily Show mentioned that too
the other night on how CNN choose what the questions which were asked vs. the outcome of a popular vote.
CNN is the reason why I didn't watch the debate.

the most trusted name in news. maybe they should change their catch phrase to 'fair and balanced'. one would think that ac would be more liberal.

i watched the first hour of those debates. i think the only good news is that younger people watched. i may not watch any more of these sound byte showcases.

8. My next move is to create a very articulate video about why impeachment is important

And, blast CNN for their utter failure to live up to their hype - a debate by the people for the people -
what a sham...

I didn't expect anything better.

12. Big Eddie is Ed Schultz who is not
a part of Air America, but is on the xm Air America station and has a daily 3 hour talk show. I'm sure you can link to him using google now that you know his proper name.

9. Big Eddie covered it on his radio show--even played the
audio of your question. Asked people to email Jack Cafferty at CNN and ask why it was not used. Good job debbielus

10. Wow - I had no idea that was going on!

I will definitely get my response video up later this evening or tonight - I have some errands that must be done, but it is what I will work on as soon as I get home

Maybe, I will keep this rolling with asking an impeachment question of the Republican candidates as well, & just to keep the topic
in the spotlight!

That is really great!

15. I heard Ed talking about it too, and my thought was: He should talk to Debbie.
He likes having first-hand interviews with people at the center of stories like these.

Email the show and give them your contact info.

13. If I might be so bold as to make a suggestion
Publish (is that the right word?) your question again, but this time dub in a response from each of the people who were on the stage. Find them somewhere saying that they wouldn't touch whatever they were talking about with a 10-foot-pole. Put words in their mouths they never said. Let that video flourish on the Internet and they - each of them - will pretty much have to respond with what they would have said if the question had been asked.

In other words make a obviously bogus response force a legitimate one. I'd do it myself but my stoneage ass doesn't have a clue how to go about it.
