    There's no necessary reason why TV networks should have exclusive control over the editorial content and structure of presidential debates. It's a conscious choice made by the party apparatchiks in conjunction with their media friends. And the result is crap

        In 1988 the two party duopoly seized control from the League of Women Voters, which sponsored the debates since 1976. https://www.lwv.org/newsroom/press-releases/league-refuses-help-perpetrate-fraud …

        It really was crap. Crap Questions that not everyone got to answer. Crap questions which did not show the difference in policy ideas between the candidates. Really, did anyone learn anything they didn't know already?

        The whole fabric and construction of manufactured consent is made from the ground up by private media companies. They work in conjunction with other corporate interests on a buddy system - advert $ are consciously cultivated and that in turn restricts the content of screen time.

        I understand your concern, but in the US we can’t expect a network to broadcast a debate unless it can maximize its profits. This is American democracy. Everything is for sale.

        Yes, I watched the debates and it was political junk food.
