Everything got the "sports treatment" to make it "exciting", with the chyrons and split screens.

Before radio and before television, the "debate" needed to be viewed "in person" and it was written about after the fact.

Now with dozens and dozens of outlets that cover it through different media technologies, it is no longer an intellectual policy discussion but a circus sideshow, with split screens of "real-time 'reactions'", complete with a "graph" plotting a line on a X-Y axis, supposedly reflecting the thoughts of pseudo-audiences, and other nonsense.
