You cannot let the sheeple find out there are alternatives. Total control.
Is there some law requiring it?
The question actually is, “Why ARE there debate moderators?"And why so few debates?
There are so few debates because it takes time to prepare for them, because they are such big deals. And they are such big deals because there are so few of them, and people take time to prep for them. They are also such big deals because of the logistics of assembling the candidates &c in one place.If you think outside the box, you realize that the debates are a rarity and a big deal because of TV. And there is a journalist moderator(s) because the TV execs want them.
If you really wanted informative debates which revealed the candidates warts and all, you would have more, smaller, debates. No one debate would be make-or-break. And there is no reason at all for a human moderator. All it needs is a chess time controlling the microphones. There is also no need to assemble the participants in one place - the candidates could just each use a studio convenient to his own locale/schedule.That would be trivial to accomplish via PCs and the Internet - but there wouldn’t be anything in it for the TV execs.
