Debating the Debates

October 21, 2016

Thank God! The debates are over as the Presidential election is in its stretch drive. Millions and millions of people watched the three Presidential Debates. But does it matter.

It is important for citizens to see candidates in a head to head discussion; however, does the content and context ever relate to the important issues and needs of our country? Over the decades, political debates have become more of a place of continual personal attacks rather than substance and discussion. Moderators own a large piece of the content when controlling a debate, but how do they do? Are they bias? Are they fair? Steve and Rick discuss and provide their opinion on the political debate process and its effects.
