my opinion that Americans are owed proper debates so they can see for themselves what they are voting for. Joe Biden will have no issue handling this.
However, I would say that in order to cut out the slanted media control, the candidates should be able to provide the questions for their opponent rather than allowing a moderator or the news outlet control the entire thing. We've seen what they do, and they can't be trusted to be fair and not inject their own biases into the flow, that needs to be eliminated as a problem.
