Media coverage for presidential debates is biased Dear Editor: As I watched the last Republican debate before Super Tuesday, I was not surprised to see that CNN "moderator" Anderson Cooper was up to his old partisan tricks again. Cooper, who turned the Republican Youtube Debate into nothing more than a Rudy Giuliani press conference, again played favorites, this time showering John McCain with easy, abundant questions, while ignoring the other equally deserving candidates on the stage. When candidate Ron Paul was finally asked a question, he asked Anderson Cooper if he could also address a topic that John McCain had been allowed to speak about. Paul was quickly rebuffed and told by Mr. Cooper that there wasn't enough time but that he was to receive ample time to speak "later," presumably to allow John McCain more time to tell how wonderful the next 100 years of Iraqi occupation are going to be. Perhaps if Anderson Cooper had not spent so much time cozying up to the so-called "popular" candidate, John McCain, (who bores me to death in my own humble opinion) he would have time to ask the other candidates actual questions instead of having to feed them 30-second soundbytes every once and a while in order to compensate for the fact that he is ignoring them? Mr. Cooper has clearly shown his inability to conduct a fair, unbiased debate and should be replaced by someone that has the competence that he so clearly lacks. Maybe then we could get some real questions on foreign policy instead of childish squabbles over who supports the pointless war in Iraq the most? Peter Collorafi,
