How Many Television Debates Do We Really Need?

Meredith Kane at Big Government is absolutely right. With her piece at Big Government confirms my previous post about the Democrat left wing media skewing our primaries. Some right-wing blogs are not doing such a good job themselves because their bias is showing.

This tidbit is great, because it reflects that all this is leading to nowhere:

There have been over 20 debates or forums for these candidates to deliver the message that liberty, self-governance, and free enterprise leads to a prosperous nation. This view is a stark contrast to the current President and his policies. However, that message is continually choked off by the gatekeeper moderators who keep the focus on things such as English being the official language. This is either laziness or intentional sabatoge by the RNC. They are allowing the media to choose the Republican Presidential candidate, not Republicans.

Tonight’s debate on CNN at 8 p.m. ET will be be moderated by Wolf Blitzer. Does the RNC actually think that tonight’s debate will be more insightful than the past 20? Here’s a thought, Mr. Preibus: Host an internal live-stream debate and invite the media outlets and C-SPAN to set up a camera. Have some new-media moguls and some Tea Party Congressmen moderate. The American people will be far more informed by one event like this than all of the other 20+ debates combined.

Mr. Preibus knows this can be done, why hasn’t he done it already?

I absolutely support a live-stream debate; this “online debate” movement started this past week while the most-boring-debate evah was in process. Our Ed Morrissey at HotAir was put in the spot, and those who support this effort want to see Captain Ed as a moderator. Michelle Malkin agrees, top brass bloggers agree. It seems that Andrew Breitbart would agree to this, although I would like him to push this effort through and help with the bandwith and his connections.

For those on Twitter, the hashtag is #hotairdebate. there is nothing concrete, no candidate has agreed to anything nor come forward. Ed Morrissey will be in the Spin Room at CPAC, and there are many excellent folks that can moderate a debate where we could cut to the chase and ask the candidates what the media does not want to: Barack Obama’s legacy in the White House.
