Democracy NOT
Though I like totally agree, the NYT's has it's collective head in the sand or up it's collective corporate colon--the YouTube Debate was the same kind of fraud that YouTube itself is. (I have an account on YouTube) Neither is democratic, both are corporate controlled, both use predominantly sex to amass viewers and both pretend they allow the "people" decide what is seen.
It was CNN that decided which of the 3000+ questions were used and how they were used (incredibly poorly for something scripted as John Stewart easily satirized).
These are not debates. They are question and answer shows that seldom give us anything substantive. These are the parties’ and the media corporations’ creations and do us very little good.
