Few Debate Thoughts I've had access to C-Span this week. I don't normally have cable. So I've been watching the speeches from all the candidates. I feel sorry for people that base their votes on debate appearances. In short you have media shills, who already have their little "stories" about how candidate X is: (insert pigeonhole here). Then they go about asking the candidates to respond to their characterizations. Then the candidates just try to pair up a part of their stump speech that might relate to the question in some way shape or form. The time constraints make these debates just about useless for learning about the candidates. I would almost say they do more to make candidates appear one dimensional and evasive than anything else. And of course, stroke the egos of the media darling hosts. A few fantasies while watching... 1. Lieberman simply vanishes, only to reappear magically at the end of the debate. 2. Sharpton makes a snappy comeback and THEN says something informed. 3.One of the candidates asks both Brit Hume and Peter Jennings about the report that found watchers of their networks were more misinformed than NPR listeners. | |
