I voted A to tip the scales, but it was probably more like a B-. I'm pleased, though, that most of CNN's spin has been about the messaging and not the heckling.

It totally baffles me that anyone would watch these events on any network other than CSPAN.

Yeah, and the spin moves the dial just as much as the speeches do. Like it or not, the networks are part of the political conversation and frame the debate. If you want to follow politics honestly I feel like you have to "consume" "news" in this way.

D+. An absolute disaster. Started off bad, and never really recovered.

Agreed, but Hagrid isn't looking for objectivity. He's just trying to ease his panic.

Panic is there, sure. But today I would say my anger trumped everything else.
