1. Curious piece in Focus this AM.....around two weeks ago, we had a one-on-one debate between Mario Voigt, the CDU's top candidate for the upcoming state elections in Thuringia, against the right-wing AfD chairman candidate, Björn Höcke. Public was asked how they felt about the debate and nearly 50-percent said they want more of the one-on-one debates.....to have a clear understanding of 'arguments'.
2. EU plan to end gas/diesel car 'new' sales by 2035....in trouble? Well...various political groups are asking questions and the enthusiasm appears to be lessening.

Yeah, but that would kind of rely on both parties being honest. Not a lot of that was on show. It was all just appeals to emotional reasoning.
If I were guessing here...general public has gotten so much of a one-way-talk dose of words over the past 20 years (via public TV)...that they 'think' that a debate outside of public TV...cures their frustration. Oddly, they are using this state-election hype (one single state, Thuringia...eastern state) to give hype on debates.
There was a public forum featured on ARD (Channel One) for several years, where they typically had the moderator and five guests. Four guests were giving one single opinion, and the lone guest giving the opposite opinion. By the end of 60-minute show....most viewers were set to the opinion of the four. Rigged? Yeah, but that was the way that public tv was built.
