On today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a>: Bad hombres! Nasty women! And SUSPENSE<\/em>! Real coverage of the final Presidential Debate of 2016, some of which is almost guaranteed to piss off just about everybody in one way or another. You’re welcome! [Audio link to show posted below.<\/i>]\n

For our analysis of the final — and, by our count, 25th! — debate of the 2016 cycle, I’m joined once again by award-winning journalist Heather Digby Parton<\/b> of Salon<\/a> and the Hullabaloo blog<\/a>, and by David Dayen<\/b>, of Fiscal Times<\/a> and author of Chain of Title: How Three Ordinary Americans Uncovered Wall Street’s Great Foreclosure Fraud<\/i><\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

As you probably expect, we spend some time focusing on Trump’s dishonest claims that the election is being “rigged” and his refusal to promise a peaceful transfer of power. But we also discuss the, at times, disingenuous outrage about it all from the media as well as both<\/i> Republicans and Democrats, each of whom seem to have developed more than a bit of convenient amnesia about recent elections, about the mechanics of our electoral system, and even very recent assertions about all of the above.<\/p>\n

Yes, election fraud and election integrity are topics about which we have some familiarity around here. And, while nuance and complexity and facts<\/i> may not play well in the corporate media or among angry partisans near the end of an insane election cycle, no small amount of each are called for today. We do our best.<\/p>\n

“Digby” and Dayen also bring insight on a number of the other surprisingly substantive issues raised at the debate (as well as important issues that, once again, were not), many of which have been largely overlooked in the wake of Trump’s latest embarrassing tantrum(s)…<\/p>\n
