The Democratic debates should not get mired down in cable access. Reach out to voters in all venues of communication. The Democratic campaigns have to reach people on all levels of communication. Senator Sanders prides himself on grass roots support. Fine. Congratulations, but, before the debates begin make sure the broadcast is reaching them.
Go to the voter, don't expect them to come to you. Traditional venues of communication are important, but, there is a far larger audience waiting to be involved. If they aren't involved in the process, they won't vote.
The debates should be respectful of all points of view that will bring valuable insight to help voters discern their positions. The debates should be rich in diversity of culture and reflective of the American people. They need to know the candidates are real with policies that work.

amid worries that a key Hollywood money pot is threatened.
The massive sell-off — one analyst called it "the media meltdown" — came after
Walt Disney Co. warned investors late Tuesday that profit from ESPN and other
cable channels would not be as robust as initially thought because fewer
consumers are subscribing to full pay-TV packages.
The sell-off continued Thursday as Viacom disappointed Wall Street with weak
sales. Over the last two days, Time Warner slid 10%, Disney shares dropped 11%,
Fox fell nearly 13% and Viacom plunged 21%....
