I think the recent debates have shown how the media really sets the agenda and how the Presidential election ends up becoming a two party election. An article by an alternative media called Adbusters discussed the arrest of Green Party nominee, Jessica Stein. The article stated that her and her female running mate were arrested for trying to enter the Hofstra debate considering the fact that she appears on 85% of American ballots. However, the media coverage on this story was very minimal because it was so focused on the debates between Obama and Romney.
This video was a Presidential Debate with the third party candidates that took place on October 23rd. The debate was moderated by Larry King and hosted by the Free and Equal Elections Foundation. Unfortunately, it wasn't on any mainstream media.
