There, they said it. Got it? Michelle Malkin was spying for Fox News:
NewsBusters-”In their report, Wes Alison and Eric Deggans asked if there wasn’t enough time for vetting (when they’ve been receiving questions for three months?)”:
And did CNN’s method for choosing questions, in which the 60 to 70 available queries were finalized in the 24 hours before the debate, make it impossible for the channel to fully vet any questioners for ties to Democratic campaigns?
CNN’s political director Sam Feist said the channel didn’t really investigate the political leanings of any questioners, focusing more on the questions they asked.
NewsBusters- “But Feist was trying to say it wasn’t CNN’s fault there was a Hillary plant in Gen. Keith Kerr, and they didn’t even pay the man’s way”:
Kerr told CNN that he had not thought to tell the network about allowing his name to be included on Clinton’s steering committees and that he was speaking for himself. Clinton’s campaign also denied any involvement with the incident. The retired general was among several questioners invited to the debate by Google; their transportation and lodging was not paid for by CNN, Feist said.
“We didn’t have an ideological litmus test for people,” Feist said, noting that one prominent CNN critic, conservative pundit Michelle Malkin, also works as a contributor for rival Fox News Channel. “I’m comfortable with the questions, and I’m comfortable with the process.”
So they are comfortable with the process that the moderator knew nothing about..but it’s okay, because this is all Michelle’s fault! She is magnificent!

It is the Clinton News Network. Lies, Lies, and more Lies just like the Clintons.
Of course this is all Michelle Malken’s fault! No doubt she lined up these Democrite activists with their prepared questions designed to control the “debate” subject matter and channel it into nonsense non-issues like “Don’t ask, don’t tell” that have nothing to do with the candidates or the election.
Yes, it must be her fault! Couldn’t have anything to do with the Democrites or the lying propagandists at the Clinton News Network. Oh no…
I knew she was good..but damn..
With the huge staff in their employ, CNN’s claims they didn’t have time to research the backgrounds of the questioners within the 24 hours is completely disingenuous. They have the existing resources and manpower to have researched the backgrounds of all the questioners chosen within one hour. And even with 60-70 questions and the speed of the internet, they could have easily researched those as well. Furthermore, Hillary Clinton’s claim she didn’t know one of her advisors was going to be there to ask a loaded question is a very poor excuse. She gives that as a blanket excuse for pretty much all the shenanigans her staff, advisors, close friends and even Bill Clinton commit. Basically she is admitting she’s out of touch with things going on around her which is NOT a character trait for a Presidential candidate. If she’s this allegedly clueless about what her people are doing then either a) she’s not in control of those around her or b) she’s not allowing necessary communications to reach her. I suspect the most accurate answer is c): she’s lying about what she knew and when she knew it. After all, the Clinton are adept at disingenuousness and pathological to boot.
Good points Carl…but let’s stop and analyze spying for a moment shall we? Spying on CNN for Fox News…Spying on a debate, aired to all viewers with access to the station, that had the highest ratings to date? And is Fox the only network that was given the info that should have been disclosed? Nope, it sure looks like MSNBC had a field day with that one. They are irked at her because she and 1000′s of others did the job that CNN should have done..and look how quickly and efficiently the background checks got done….
Spying…yep..that’s what Michelle was doing..sure..it’s believable…if you are an idiot =))
Well, let’s try to be understanding for a moment…I know Michelle Malkin rather easily researched the questioners on the Internet.
But maybe CNN doesn’t have Internet access? Maybe CNN does not know how to use search engines?
=))
9, Robert, remember the Ape Tribunal that tried Taylor (Charleton Heston) in “Planet of the Apes”? Remember the See No Evil, Hear No Evil, and Speak No Evil pose they did during the “trial”? That is the Clinton News Network research and vetting staff.
