Patriots answer hard questions as that's what makes them patriots. When this standard is what makes a country, it's not acceptable that the same standard does not apply to those who govern it. The questions posed to those who would take the office of President are spoon-fed Pablum which insult the issues of the day, not entirely in the questions asked but also by those which are not.
Abby Martin is not one to dodge anything as she didn't even stand down on Russia Today when she protested Putin's early reaction to Ukraine. There are many journo stooges who only play for pay but no-one can make Abby Martin a stooge. Her history speaks clearly of her honesty and her knowledge and I cannot think of a more formidable interviewer.
Why would a patriot accept any less and who but a patriot could face such a test.
There is the perception the electorate is stupid and uninformed. To a large extent that's true in the voting public but the last election was determined by significantly less than 40% of the registered voters. The number of disenchanted voters is enormous and assuming they are stupid is a mistake. My view is my vote means nothing if the candidates are not worthy as the result comes out the same no matter which unethical bastard wins. Based on the lack of electoral participation, I strongly suspect I'm far from the only one.
Likely this won't happen but not for lack of honesty in Abby Martin but rather lack of honesty in the candidates.
