Poland 'holds' ghost election with 0% turnout (mostly explains what and who led up to this.)
Opposition 'slams' presidential election by post (citing lack of preparation, mostly.)
Polish election delayed indefinitely with just 4 days to go (mostly the same as the first article, but also cites how the later these elections are held, the worse Duda (current Polish president) 's chances unsurprisingly become.)
Race to the bottom: all Polish election outcomes are bad [opinion article] (a short analysis on the possibility routes the election could have taken. Admittedly somewhat outdated given the elections have clearly been postponed.
Related article: Poland's ruling party just made it's anti-democratic intention radically clear (tl;dr they're really invested in 'illiberal democracy', not too unlike the Republican party.)

Admittedly I deleted and re-uploaded this because I was worried I had posted the original thread too soon.
A'ight, here we are. Spreadsheet time.
When will the debate be broadcasted?
The debate will be recorded March 15th, 8-10 PM ET. (1-3 AM UTC)
Where will it happen?
In the CNN studio in Washington DC. Note that they moved it from Phoenix due to the Coronavirus.
Who will moderate it?
Dana Bash and Jake Tapper from CNN and Ilia Calderón from Telemundo.
Where can I watch this?
It will most likely be livestreamed in CNN's YouTube channel.it was livestreamed on CNN's website.So, what's new and how will this change anything?
This is the first and possibly the last one-on-one debate in the primary between Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden and (also due to Coronavirus concerns) It has no live audience. It will also occur before some of the largest states in the primary vote.
So what do you think should happen? What questions should be asked? What should the candidates do and what should we talk about?

"Children and Politics" - a 3 minute interview with British children before the 1964 general election
This is short, but it demonstrates something that's been missing from tv for a while, which is the simple interview with children that recognises they are children but still takes them seriously...
This is short, but it demonstrates something that's been missing from tv for a while, which is the simple interview with children that recognises they are children but still takes them seriously as humans.
EDIT: Somehow I missed the main link, which goes to a BFI page here: https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-children-and-politics-1964-online
There are some amazing old (1960s, 1970s) British tv interviews with children carried out by Harold Williamson. He asks children a question and then just lets them answer. There's no attempt to laugh at the children, and there's no attempt to say "zomg look at what this cute kid is saying".
A few clips here, https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06tq93b and there are probably more on Youtube: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06tq93b
It's showing its age - "what would you do if your husbands went on strike? How would you run a household?" (asked of two girls) isn't acceptable.
