There's no mincing words—the first presidential debate was a travesty of the highest order. The leading story is President Biden's horrendous performance and the political crisis it's sparked among the Democrats. But the failure of the media, not to mention former President Trump's antics, should also be called out. TRNN contributor Adam H. Johnson joins Mel Buer and Marc Steiner for a post-mortem on the debate, and, from the way it's looking, American democracy itself.
