Presidential Debate: The "Sham" Commission

The "Jackson Sun" newspaper thinks the commission responsible for the presidential debates is a "sham":

While it did not create the restrictions, it agreed to enforce them. It bills itself as non-partisan. But its co-directors are Frank Fahrenkopf, a pharmaceutical industry lobbyist and former chairman of the Republican National Committee, and Paul Kirk, a high flying gambling lobbyist. Most of the CPD's money comes from Fortune 100 companies including Phillip Morris and Anheuser-Busch.
