The phrase "poor O'Malley" was "trending" on Twitter after Sunday night's debate in which the former Maryland Governor was hard-pressed to get even "ten seconds." Some of the comments are at the link below.
I agree that if Mr. O'Malley is going to be invited to these debates -- and he certainly should be -- he deserves equal time.
One solution would be to have the PBS News Hour people run one of these so-called debates. Depending on who was moderating, perhaps there would be both more civility and a better division of time. What we are getting from these for-profit media broadcasters are slug-fests -- verbal versions of the gladiator contest of yore.
America deserves better.
