MSM is devoting ALL their time to this debate. It's like the USA and free world will choose this moment as a watershed

[Evolve Dammit]

I disagree. This is a snapshot into one event. Verbal judo will conclude nothing on so many serious issues; at least I don't think so. Drumph will denigrate us all and Joe will state what he has done. Optics is what matters, right?
Sadly, half of USA doesn't really care and don't vote. Willfully ignorant and can't be bothered to inform themselves.
I don't care how Joe does, because he has done a damn good job on so many issues and received very little acknowledgement from MSM. Meanwhile they treat it as a normal election. We know it is not anywhere near "normal." Coup attempt, fake electors, stealing classified docs and almost hanging VP Mike Pence. Not in my lifetime. We're in Bizzaro World.

Let me know your take, and Best to you all in DU land,

1. MSM is NOT devoting ALL their time to this debate

CNN talking about the Confidential documents story
MSNBC talking about the State Department
ABC, CBS and NBC talking about floods in Minnesota
Fox News talking about food security

Hyperbole is unnecessary.

2. Debate seems overwhelmingly covered watching CNN and MSNBC.

3. How about Most of their time. Is that better?

4. I won't challenge it since I don't watch multiple hours of cable news.

7. Sadly I do. Hence the post.

5. Folks need to pick a lane

One doesn't get to call this election "the most consequential in history" a "referendum on fascism" and "democracy on the ballot" and then bemoan media interest in one of only two debates between the candidates.

9. Agreed.

Demanding that the media completely ignore one of the two major-party candidates for president is also a popular, and similarly misguided and unrealistic, pastime.

6. The debate has the potential to sink Trump for good

which may not be what the media would like to talk about. They seem more concerned about Joe's age and if he can pull off another 'State of the Union' win, which is just plain dumb, of course he can.

Joe is going to be prepared, strong and articulate. He's going to wipe the floor with Trump, who will be spouting his usual jibberish.

8. Sounds good.

10. For the media generally, every event is dramatic breaking news. nt

11. It's so hyped

Full disclosure-I probably won’t watch it. There certainly is nothing Trump can say to make me vote for him. Any worthy sound bites I can catch after my dinner or on late night comedy.

Both sides will declare victory no matter what.
