Was the recent ABC News debate between Obama and Clinton shallow and meaningless?

Instead of focusing on the real issues, the moderators spent half the debate re-hashing old and irrelevant issues, like why Barack doesn't often wear a flag on his lapel, his reverend's incendiary remarks, and Clinton's sniper fire comment. I couldn't stand it, I turned off the TV after 20 minutes of inane questions.

Yes, plus it was also biased against Barack Obama - although that may have been good to help balance out the previous media bias against Hillary Clinton.

The media is focusing on issues that don't concern most voters, eg. the economy,soaring gas and food prices, the war in Iraq. Why spend valuable time during a debate questioning a candidate with issues that don't concern the voters???
