Even the media questions their value -- which is why only NBC, of the three on air networks who do news, carried the debate.

It's also why they didn't carry the conventions gavel-to-gavel.

They have become highly controlled, produced, program length commercials.

A few of the undecided voters will probably use the debates to tip the scale, but you have to question whether that makes it worth all of the hoopla.
