This is why we hate the media:

From tonight's CNN Democratic debate, which ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
dzuummod started me watching about midway through:
Question about race from moderators. All three candidates announce, clearly, that they are not interested in going down the racial road. Again.
And what does the media do?
Ask Barack Obama, and I quote, if he thinks that Bill Clinton was "really the first black American president."
:: head on desk ::
Edit: Things got even worse, if you can believe it, with the last question of the evening: "Why would Dr. Martin Luther King endorse you if he were alive today?"
:: double head thunk on desk ::
My take, having now watched some clips from the first, livelier half of the debate: Candidates, 1, Media 0. Geesh.
