The U-tube Dem debate already happened... They were not as afraid to do this U-tube forum as the Repubs were.
But as someone else said the questions this time on the U-tube Repub debate were slow pitches, easy to handle stuff... After the Repub debate I did hear on NPR that even though "The Snowman" submitted a question this time, he was not selected... probably would have been far too challenging of a question.
And KY Jon--- I hear you about how voting for the president has become a matter of choosing "the lesser of two evils". The major media has everything do with that. All they do is cover the horse race, so to speak... All their air time is basically about who is in first and second or talking about how each candidate is percieved, in other words THAY are actually establishing the "leading candidates" and they are TELLING you how each candidate SHOULD be perceived: None of it is based on the issues but based on THEIR STRATEGY to funnel the people to vote for who they say is LEADING and ALSO toward the candidate the media casts in the best light. (who wants to vote for someone who has no chance, or who wants to vote for someone the media keeps telling you "has problems").
So major media creates the front runners and then they do not give any coverage to those who are not front runners thereby ensuring the people in front are the ones who stay in front.
And their coverage is based on how they WANT the people to perceive each candidate, thus they create PUBLIC PERCEPTION, and they (the major media) devote virtually no coverage to the issues or the values and priorities each and every candidate would embrace after they are in office.
Major Media = Major Propoganda and Distortions.
