SUMMARY: CNN's Jeanne Moos characterized some of the questions submitted by YouTube users for the upcoming CNN/YouTube Republican debate as "stunningly superficial," "shockingly sophomoric," "completely incomprehensible," and "totally irrelevant." But Moos didn't mention the question that concluded CNN's broadcast of the November 15 Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas, in which Sen. Hillary Clinton was asked if she preferred "diamonds or pearls." The person asking the question later wrote that CNN insisted she ask the question instead of a different one about the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository.
