Unless, of course, they turn to RT. In response to widespread blackout from both the mainstream media and political establishment alike, RT is honored to be presenting a platform for the major third-party candidates also vying for the White House this election year to debate. The event will be moderated by multi-award winning broadcast journalist Larry King and will be broadcast live from Chicago, Illinois on October 23. RT America and http://RT.com will offer the event live in cooperation with the debates organizers, the Free and Equal Elections Foundation. Thom Hartmann, the star of RTs The Big Picture and noted radio host, is one of a few select journalists hand-picked to hit the candidates with questions about their campaign. Despite having their platforms largely silenced by the elites of a two-party political system, Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Constitution Party candidate Virgil Goode and Justice Party candidate Rocky Anderson plan to continue their campaign through Election Day. Since their thoughts on issues critical to voters has been muted by the mainstream media, however, their arguments for how they envision America under their own leadership has been left in the dark. The previous debates between President Obama and Governor Romney have failed to address the issues that really concern everyday Americans. From foreign policy, to the economy, to taboo subjects like our diminishing civil liberties and the drug war, Americans deserve a real debate, real solutions and real electoral options, Free & Equal Founder Christina Tobin tells the press. Larry King, who retired from his role as CNN commentator just last year, says in a press release for the event that being given the opportunity to test the wits of the third-party candidates is a truly exciting opportunity. I have interviewed every US President since Nixon, and lest people forget, I helped usher Ross Perot into the national conversation during the 1992 presidential contest. I appreciate the importance of providing a platform to those with real alternative visions for our countrys future, King says. RT America will begin its pre-debate coverage at 8:00 P.M. Eastern on October 23 with a panel of journalists and commentators including our own Thom Hartmann weighing in on this years election. Arguments from the candidates themselves will be underway an hour alter when Mr. King takes overs. +5 (5 votes) Poster Comment: The previous debates between President Obama and Governor Romney have failed to address the issues that really concern everyday Americans. The "official" presidential debates are not intended to inform Americans about candidates' policy directions but rather as an entertainment spectacular which is easier for media types to handle to build up audience numbers and ratings. Both main party candidates are indentured to the Israeli Lobby and have to take its policy directions since the "lobby" provides the necessary organization and funding for the candidates campaigns with support, of course, from the Jew-controlled mainstream media. Most of the billions raised in campaign contributions thus go to the Jew-controlled media enabling it to continue to promote a pro-Israel public opinion in the country. So don't expect any of the media types on this RT production to tackle the most important but hidden issue of America's unjustified support of the Israeli criminal state, an issue important because it has drained the US treasury of trillions of dollars for wars for Israel, keeps American business out of profitable, job-creating markets because they happen to be in countries Israel considers to be a threat to its illegal expansion in the Middle East.
