CNN/YouTube Democratic Debate
I am surprised that this ground-breaking moment in both politics and media passed with so little talk about its implications. Say what you will about CNN, but did Ted Turner just usher in a new media era? Has there been another convergence like this besides, “head over to our website and answer a few questions…” Granted, I know very little about how the questions were selected for the televised debate, but from I my point of view the candidates we asked and “mostly” answered some interesting questions.
Check the recap here.
For us eduphiles the candidates were asked if they would scrap or change NCLB.
I have not made my own decision, but I hope Gov. Bill Richardson gets a fair shake by the educational community. Great answer. The other candidates leave a great deal of room for in-action.
What do you think? What legitimacy, if any, does this bring to YouTube as a media outlet? Like it or not it is time to start paying attention so that we can make an educated decision come Nov 08′
