Presidential Geek Survey Diary – Day 22

Oh, come on! A talking snowman? A taxes song? (Although, that was kind of clever.) A guy in a tank top and shorts, wielding an automatic weapons he calls “his baby” can get a question answered by the Democratic presidential candidates, but I can’t get an unpaid intern pretending to be a candidate to answer a few simple, yet geeky questions?

The Pink Raygun Geek Survey doesn’t even have Anderson Cooper’s angelic face begging the candidates to stop digging into each other and just answer the freaking questions. Wolf Blitzer won’t ask anyone to raise any hands.

American media has made a mockery out of the news in recent years, and now with the YouTube debate, CNN has turned around and made a mockery out of the American people, directly to our faces. As a defense for their decision to control which questions made it to the candidates, CNN said a question about Arnold Schwarzenegger being a cyborg was the most popular citizen question.

CNN basically said the American public is too stupid to ask the candidates questions. Guess what, CNN? We’re not too stupid. We’re more daring than your journalists. There were valid questions submitted that Big Media would never ask that never made it to the debate. You portrayed us as simple to the candidates and to ourselves.

Score
