US Third party debate

I had no idea there were more than just two presidential candidates. They're having debates and everything, but with virtually zero coverage in the US media. They even have a Greens candidate, I nearly fell off my chair. A Greens candidate, in the US? Far out. So who was it that covered, and is going to cover, these third party debates? Well don't hold your breath that it's going to be Fox news or CNN. Look instead to RT. Here's the entire debate if anyone's interested. 



I don't think I could sit there and watch 90 minutes of political debate from over there, but it's amazing to me that they even exist. Zero coverage in the MSM here. Just the boring old far right duo agreeing with just about everything (Obama and Mad Mitt). Good to see. BTW they're covering the next debate too Oct 30th.

A whole lot of info about it here at RT.  

There's a blackout by the mainstream media and the US political elite on coverage of third parties, but RT covered and broadcast this year's third-party presidential debate, hosted by Larry King and featuring a panel including our own Thom Hartmann. 

On Tuesday night, RT was one of only a handful of media outlets to broadcast the debate, moderated by award-winning broadcast journalist Larry King. Organized by the Free and Equal Elections Foundation, candidates from the Constitution, Green, Justice and Libertarian parties sounded off on the issues facing American voters, without having to worry about towing party lines for the Democrats or Republicans. 

The third-party candidates' debate statements, diverse as they were, were a change of pace for the growing number of Americans who see little substantive difference between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. Though they often disagreed, there was near unanimity on one general concept: The Democratic and Republican parties represent corporate interests, not the average American. more
