Default Media Letting Us Down

We are now deeply into the primaries for both parties with a number of debates behind us. Have I been napping during the discussions about how candidates are going to address our national debt, current budget, social security, Medicare, etc, etc. our did they just skip that topic. I have heard lowering taxes, more military spending, increase childcare, paid maternity leave, increase in earned income credit (tax refund even if you don't pay taxes), free education, forgiving student debt, increased health care, etc. The debate locations are packed with supporters who clap and loudly cheer for anything their candidates says. How about a real question answer session where real moderators and non-biased subject matter experts ask questions and follow-up questions with no audience or boring exchanges between candidates. You would really separate BS from facts with this format. But alas American voters prefer BS.
