CNN says it went 'too far' in framing student's question

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) -- A college student who asked the Democratic presidential candidates at a debate whether they preferred the PC or Mac format for their computers says the question was planted by CNN.

The news network acknowledged Tuesday that a producer went "too far" in telling Brown University student Alexandra Trustman what to ask.

There is an invisible line drawn in the sand of the election desert. CNN's brash moves have caused it to cross that line. How innapropriate. How indecent.

Sadly the PC or MAC question's answer would drastically influence my opinion of a candidate. But that's just me.

The American Government fixed!? Unheard of!

Pul-ease. They say all this stuff now, but they know, THEY KNOW, that their judicial system was fixed since the beginning. Those Corporations have mass power, what wouldn't they do with it?

I was thinking about this question, and the potential answer being
"I'd be on a mac if I could," revealing the polititian's frailty in yielding to conventional wisdom. Too bad a student didn't think of it.

Any idea what the actual answer was to the question?

Conventional wisdom my mac!

Just kidding, well not kidding, but I won't get started on a debate like that.
