[Rational Thought]

I agree that no audience reactions (or perhaps even no audience) does allow people watching on TV (or listening) to form their own opinions without influence.

Does it make for more entertaining TV? No, but it shouldn't be about entertainment. If we're to take debates seriously in determining our nominee, I'm all in favor of negating distractions.

Oh sure, it is better to let the MSM shape our opinions with their loaded questions without audience interruption. /sarcasm
