I’m going to keep this short .. . there is a Democratic Town Hall tonight in Nevada, and we plebeians can only view it by PAYING for MSNBC coverage via cable. My family does not do TV….only internet. It’s way too expensive.
WHY are these so called ‘public’ debates . . .NOT PUBLIC?
WHY are they all not being broadcast on CSPAN...the government network for the people..for ALL the people? Accessible via the internet as well as TV?
We are NO longer living in a DEMOCRATIC society...but one shaped and formed by the 1%, the corporate MEDIA, and the Corporate Oligarchic Complex, courtesy of Karl Rove and the Koch Brothers, and their minion think tank, ALEC.
Elections fed to as small an audience as possible, to incapacitate the general electorate from being informed, rather than making sure that EVERY CITIZEN has a fair understanding of the candidates and their issues (of all parties), without corporate media spin, i.e., “being told how we should think, and for whom we should vote.”
We are all human beings, of spirit, mind, will, compassion, diversity. We need to come together to solve our problems.
I do not see where the political media machine is really helping each American citizen to get the information s/he needs to make an informed and independent decision ...in the most important election of the 21st Century.
I wish that it were not so...
