Why bother watching the debates....the only real good reason to watch a debate is to see how closely SNL comes giving rise to a laugh.
The media will debate the debate for days now.....and god forbid SNL gets another seat in the gig.
Can we really ever trust the media in general?
=====================================
Apparently, you trust them to amuse you.
The debate is more useful than what one sees and hears in the media.
Brokaw did a good job tonight.
No, my point is that the debates do not help me become more informed as the candidates play it too safely, imo.
Why bother. I don't think it matters to most people as it used to. Televised debates in the 60's for example meant a hell of a lot more than they do today. Today, you can decide on a candidate by listening to YouTube before any cable debate will ever really sway one's vote. I don't get any amusemnet out of the debate aftermath. In fact, I think it's a shame that SNL has been seen more lately than at anytime in the past. Hmmm, funny goes just so far.
I miss Tim Russert.
He would have given us a touch of laughter in his own way, and a hell of a lot more substance with regard to reactions to the meat of the entire process of the debate.
Funny has taken over..and I am one person who loves to be amused...but, I am not amused at the satires take over Dalla mentality.
The politicians of today IMO, take on a debate with too much of a safety minded approach.
