CNN'S YOUTUBE DEBATE FAILED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
[SOURCE: AlterNet, AUTHOR: Rory O'Connor]
[Commentary] In what was otherwise an interesting and even laudable experiment in participatory democracy, CNN and the candidates let us down in the so-called "YouTube Debate." In only dipping its toe in the swirling, muddy waters of citizen media, greater access, and individual empowerment, however, America's 'most trusted news network' failed to deliver on the promise of a Great Debate by, in essence, failing to trust the American people.
