“Five out of six of the questions have been idiotic, while a few have been quite good. The most disingenuous moment was when Anderson Cooper protested that the “are you authentically black” question to Senator Obama wasn’t his. Yes, indeed, it was Cooper’s question, because CNN’s staff, with Cooper’s participation, selected these questions. All of these questions are CNN’s, and it is silly to protest otherwise. If any of them are inappropriate or silly, that reflects on CNN’s judgment.”
