It should serve as a surprise to no one that legitimate news sources, like Al-Jezeera English and Russia Today, will cover the third party debates while the mainstream US press won't spend its time doing something legitimate and will continue to force two predetermined piles of garbage down our throats.

We'll continue to get nothing but scripted, reality-TV like "debates" while the supposed news agencies of Fox, MSNBC, CNN and others refuse to jeopardize the advertising dollars they get from the big two parties by continuing to support a broken system that makes democracy little more than a sham.

Are you okay man? I know you hate me but I care about you my friend.

Oh and btw, we're a representative republic, not a democracy.

The networks were fired up when there was a legit 3rd Party Candidate. Granted the guy was great TV which didn't hurt. If a legit 3rd party candidate arises the media will be there.

Well as a Chinese sympathizer who gets his news from Al-Jazeera it isn't a large leap in logic. Dare I say 9/11 Truther is next. Ha

I watched the Libertarian Party candidate debate, and it was pretty awful. Given the intellectual superiority of libertarians, they sure don't seem to have much to choose from.
