All US presidential debates manipulated: Activist
The US mainstream media and the two political parties control all presidential campaigns and decide who can be in presidential debates, says a social activist.
Myles Hoenig made the comments in an interview with Press TV on Friday when asked about recent remarks by former US congressman Ron Paul who said some of the machinations in the long election process are orchestrated by the mainstream American media.
“I think some of this stuff in the presidential campaigns is orchestrated by the major media. It is entertainment. They have competitions going on and on,” Paul, a former US presidential candidate, told Russia Today on Thursday.
Hoenig said US “mainstream media is part of the political system that does control most aspects of air-campaigns that commission on presidential debates” run by both political parties.
The social justice activist said US mainstream media and political parties “work together” to design “questions” to be asked in debates and decide “who in the audience can be there to hear these debates.”
“So it’s very orchestrated by the mainstream media but it is orchestrated with the support of the two political parties which” take some “ideas out of the debate,” he noted.
“We’re only hearing those that the media and mainstream political systems want the American public to hear,” he added.
