I didn't get a chance to see it, I don't have cable but one of the things I thought odd was that CNN got to choose/filter the videos before airing.
Now I'm not necessarily saying that is or is not a bad thing. If CNN is footing the bill and you want to set a certain tone for the type of questions that you get it might be reasonable to have this filter. But it is still a filter/control from an established media company. It is still directed "from up high" and a select few are allowed to ask questions. On the one hand there is a M$M disrespect of user generated content unless and until it can be used as a marketing tool or as a way to look cool. Next you lock down the contributions from one web video host and then you further filter who can access by having it on cable, if your provider carries CNN, CSPAN or CSPAN2. Concept-wise, this is not a bad start. I'm just impatient for the next evolution.
