In reply to the discussion: The reason that Hillary is skittish about having a debate in New York. [View all]Uncle Joe
(65,706 posts)and requires vast sums of money to advertise on?
The same T.V. which blacked out Bernie for most all of last year, while at the same enabling/creating the Trump Monster?
The same national corporate media controlled T.V. which has totally gone silent in regards to the massive voter suppression which took place in Arizona?
None of the debates have been held in New York and we only got 8 after a major uproar from the people combined with Bernie pulling even or ahead in Iowa and New Hampshire, that's when Hillary and her pal Schultz became somewhat "enlightened."
The scheduling sucked as well, timed for when most people wouldn't be viewing them.
These would be the same corporate media conglomerates that directly benefit from Citizens United and unlimited sums of money pouring in from anywhere on the globe to corrupt our democratic process, I don't put much faith in them being honest brokers.
I believe the American People are much better served by head to head match-ups of the candidates in real time, this would especially hold true in a high media market such as New York and that's what Hillary is afraid of.
