Anyone hearing all the pre-game chatter on debate?

No, I didn’t. We voted last week, so we watched “The Mummy Returns” instead. Made for a relaxing evening.

There was also a Facebook discussion weighing the merits of watching Thursday Night Football (Eagles-Giants) versus watching the debate; that wound up being inconclusive.

Anyone is free to turn off their TV, radio, computer, or wherever they are hearing the chatter. As consumers of information, we have a responsibility to moderate exposure because we are not in a position to moderate the content. We live in a capitalist society, and in the business of media, the amount of attention and impact dictates the flow of dollars... not the veracity, accuracy, truthfulness, or soundness of what is put out, so sensationalism becomes paramount. We cannot blame a business for wanting to make money, so the responsibility falls to us, the consumer.
