Reply #62: The Debate (So to Speak)...

[LeFleur1]

The questions got better after the first hour (which stunk). But by that time, many viewers had probably given up and gone away.

These TV people should never be called interviewers and should never be allowed to ask questions during a political debate. They have a vested interest in conflict and that's exactly what they try to create.

For the first hour they were asking questions based on sh** they made up in the first place and broadcast. When "these people" (broadcasters) find some ridiculous thing and blow it up to keep their own jobs, that is when those silly things became issues. Usually, we can hope, they are only issues in the fake little world of the broadcasters. The problem is that they don't recognize that we recognize their fictional slant on things. Our media has been just as incompetent at their jobs during the past eight years as the Bush administration has been incompetent at running the government. I wanted to hear what each candidate had to say about policy. I didn't want to hear about crap the media made up in the first place to cause conflict.
