Looks like 'they've' got us just where they want us,

arguing/fighting about Lauer, few discussions re: the candidates' positions, HATE HATE HATE Matt Lauer!

He did what HIS commanders demanded of him! NO 'fairness doctrine!' fair·ness doc·trine
noun
a former federal policy in the US requiring television and radio broadcasters to present contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues of public importance.
The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was — in the Commission's view — honest, equitable, and balanced. The FCC eliminated the Doctrine in 1987, and in August 2011 the FCC formally removed the language that implemented the Doctrine.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairness_Doctrine

And then 'complain' about CNN's approach? Why not, who the heck cares about substance, surely not the electorate!
