The questions are Crowley's choice [View all]

Don't be fooled by the "from the audience" bullshit. Hundreds of people write questions and then she (or a team of some sort) picks the 15-20 questions that make for the debate she wants—the topics she thinks important, the tone she thinks appropriate.

The technicality that each question is written by a member of the audience is like me claiming this post was written by the dictionary.

All I did was chose which words in the dictionary to use.
