To ABC: Regarding the Democratic "debate"
I tuned in to watch the debate between the democratic candidates on ABC. I'm concerned about many issues going on in our country and in the world. I am horrified and absolutely disgusted at the "tabloid sensationalism" that your so called news reporters are throwing at the candidates. When half of the debate is over, and NOT ONE ISSUE has been addressed, you have done a disservice not only to the candidates, but to the American people. I am disgusted by your mockery of this election.



(You can only do 500 words, I would have done much more if I could...)

2. I can't believe that they would ask questions of Obama that make
him uncomfortable. From now on Obama should only allow cult member access.

6. This isn't about Obama, did you see Obama mentioned at all in my post?
Do you think that the pressing issues of the day are whether HIllary Clinton remembers correctly the landing of an airplane 12 years ago? Do you think the pressing issues of the day is whether or not someone wears a certain type of pin, or if their pastor - who is retired, and this question has been debated fucking ad nausem - is patriotic?

WTF?!?

7. It has nothing to do with Obama or anyone else being uncomfortable
We've been forcefed all that stupid shit for weeks. We already know it, and we've already made up our minds about it.

This is a presidential debate. They need to ask presidential questions. It was exactly 50 minutes into a 90-minute debate before the first real issue question was asked.

That is simply disgusting.

I would have spent it at a broken levee.

4. ABC is going to discover that their actions have concequences.

I am sure their display of questions such as "Who do you think is more of a patriot" sets the bar for journalism so low that their integrity as a news source will be damaged.

Their news is not much better than FOX news, and I, and many like me, am letting them and their sponsors know it as we speak.

11. We're trying to elect the president.
We're trying to elect the President of the United States, I think it's pretty important to find out if the person who wants to run our country is who they say they are. Right now they're strongly looking like a Liar and a Anti-American Racist.
