Media commercialization of public debate

Claim

Confrontation in debate is dramatic and emotionally engaging in a way that constructive argument is not. The intense commercial competition within the media for audience attention influences the choice of participants in ways that destroy the possibility for destructive debate. This also influences the debating style encouraged in non-commercial media.
