However, you have to take some ownership for this sad corruption of this TV-age tradition. You put broadcasters into a position of power and control over your candidates and messages. You kept engaging in this debate format even after the power you handed the Protection Racket Media corrupted them even more thoroughly. You assumed that the humiliation of Candy Crowley in 2012 for her attempt to debate the debaters taught media anchors a lesson. And indeed it did, but not the one you assumed. Now Crowley's innovation has become de rigueur for network anchors anxious for self-promotion and ego inflation, entirely at the expense of your candidates ... and your voters.

Had enough yet?

Ahh, 2012 and the 2nd Presidential Debate. Mitt Romney had Barack Obama on the ropes, beating the crap out of him on Benghazi, I believe it was. And then Candy Crowley went flying off the top rope with a "fact check" that was in fact...wrong and bailed Obama out.
