Does it come with a check? CNN’s lame defense of its failure to vet the YouTube questioners continues to diminish their credibility.

The whole point of these ground-breaking CNN/YouTube debates is to focus on substantive questions of concern to real people and to throw open the process to a wider range of Americans all around the country. CNN cared about what you asked, not who you were. This was the case for both the Democratic and the Republican CNN/YouTube debates.

The issues raised during last night’s debate were legitimate and relevant no matter who was asking the questions. The vested interests who are challenging the credibility of the questioners are trying to distract voters from the substantive issues they care most about. Americans are tired of that discredited low-road approach, and throughout this election campaign CNN will stay focused on what the candidates are saying about the pressing issues facing this country at a critical time in our history.

Judging by the fact that last night’s event was the most-watched primary debate ever, it seems that the audience responded to our focus on plain-spoken questions about important issues.

Keep driving the conservatives to FoxNews why don’t ya?
