Oh, I'm not so sure about that. 2 people that understand the office and Donald Dumass debating would be great theater.

After that clusterf**k that Lauer presided over on the USS Intrepid and today's dog and pony show at Trump's hotel in DC, I expect the media to hold Trump to some sort of journalistic standard.

They haven't yet. Why change now?

CBS says 'Public be damned.' Well, we can't say we haven't been told.

Since the late 60s, and probably earlier, TV news has emphasized the entertainment value. For network TV, eyes on the most important minute is the driving force.

Well I am sure you all know I am not happy about leaving Johnson out. Another debate with those two retards name calling and slinging mud, great, lets show the rest of the world what a bunch of morons the USA is..

Neither of them represent me, and I am sure there are many more who feel the same !

Interesting the article re the debates in the Atlantic in recalling past debates from the Kennedy/Nixon one onward refers to Theodore White's book "The Making of the President" suggests that they are all about image and not content. In other words watch them with the sound turned off if you wish to see who is the winner. Maybe I'll try that.
