I don’t mean to sound like Clintoon, but there’s a “third way”: just don’t worry about it.
Something like 70% to 80% of voters distrust the media and take it for granted that the media are in the tank for the libtards. It gets factored into the results. And remember, the results of a debate are NOT what the pundits think, but what the VOTERS think.
The trend of modern communications plays against the media getting away with their bias. In fact, the trend of modern communications augurs against the lamestream media’s future *existance*, let alone their influence.
LSM bias forces the conservative candidate to be stronger, and allows the liberal candidate to be weak. That’s not a recipe for liberal success.
Relax. It’ll all work out OK in the end.
It’s such a given that the debates will be biased against the Republican, that I wonder if they’re seeking to use that to their advantage, ie, some kind of sympathy card. It would be one way of making lemonade when you’re given lemons. But it still doesn’t explain why they don’t just fight harder for fair debates, unless they really know that that would never truly be possible and it’s better to just have it be as blatantly biased as possible and use the advantage.
The ways of politics and politicians, it’s all too much for an honest and normal person to grasp.
