Bipolar Democracy
The [presidential] debates [in the USA] are controlled by the so-called Commission on Presidential Debates, a private [non-profit] corporation which was created by the Democratic and Republican Parties in 1987.
The Commission is headed by Frank Fahrenkopf — the former head of the Republican National Committee, and Paul Kirk — the former head of Democratic National Committee.
Fahrenkopf is a lobbyist for gambling interests, Kirk for pharmaceutical companies.
