No! Make a show of it. Stand on stage for an hour and read everything wrong your opponent has every done
That happened here in Romania last presidential election. Our neofascist candidate (Simion) got dunked on by the neoliberal (Dan) in the first debate, so he came up with excuse after excuse as to why he couldn’t come to the rest.
The media companies got pissed off, and instead of cancelling decided to dunk on Simion by asking the questions to Dan and playing the absolute worst clips they could find of Simion answering those questions. Definitely didn’t singlehandedly lose Simion the election, but it definitely didn’t help him.
That’s giving them far too much credit. They’re against losing all that delicious ad revenue from the debates and wanted to make an example of him. If Dan had cancelled, they’d have done the same to him in a heartbeat.

Damn… It must be really nice to have media companies who are actually against fascism…

Okay then … must be nice to have media that’s at least neutral, instead of being pro-fascist.
