Chomsky vs. Bennett on CNN

I'm a little annoyed that I missed the "debate" between Noam "America Hater" Chomsky and Bill "Our Guide to Moral Clarity" Bennett on CNN's American Morning. I woke up just to catch it at 8:20am, as I was informed, but when Paula and team decided to throw on more "don't forget why we're killing Muslims" crap from Ground Zero, I switched off the tube. Apparently the debate happened some 10 minutes later.

You can't glean much from the transcript, except to say that it's impossible to have a serious, informed debate on television, as McLuhan claimed.

The one thing I did find amusing was that Bennett brought up Chomsky's supposed Khmer Rouge apologias. Even in such a short time period, he couldn't refrain from an attempt at character assassination. God bless him.

There's some backchat about the debate here and someone went to the trouble of doing an "analysis" of the debate here.
