Umm...the "debate stuff" is the "real news". That's what's going on in the US.....and it's a pretty big deal. Affects the way this country will be governed for the next 4 years. Affects the way the US will interact with the rest of the world for the next 4 years.
What did you want to hear about? Some woman finding mold in her fridge in the form of Elvis's head? An alien-human hybrid baby? A woman so fat she had to be cut off of her couch? Because none of those things are news-worthy to me.
