EVERYTHING OUTDOORS. COMING UP THIS WEEKEND. NOW, A KOCO FIVE EDITORIAL. HERE IS PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER BRENT HENSLEY. WE’RE JUST DAYS FROM THE NEXT PIVOTAL MOMENT IN THIS YEAR’S HISTORIC PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. TUESDAY NIGHT HERE ON KOCO. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS ARE SCHEDULED TO TAKE THE DEBATE STAGE. THIS YEAR HAS SHOWN US MORE THAN EVER, THE POWER OF A GOOD OR BAD PERFORMANCE ON THAT STAGE. I ENCOURAGE EACH OF YOU TO WATCH THE DEBATE AND LISTEN TO WHAT THE CANDIDATES SAY. TUESDAY NIGHT. IN THESE DAYS OF DIVISIVE SPEECH MEME CULTURE AND SO MUCH MISINFORMATION, IT’S EASY TO BE DISTRACTED FROM THE ISSUES THAT REALLY MATTER. BUT MY CHALLENGE TO YOU IS TO PUSH THE DISTRACTIONS ASIDE. FOCUS ON WHAT EACH CANDIDATE SAYS ABOUT HOW THEY’LL TACKLE THE PROBLEMS THAT MATTER MOST TO YOU. ABC IS NOT HAVING SPECTATORS AT THE DEBATE AND SAYS THEY’LL BE MUTING MICS WHEN IT’S NOT THE CANDIDATE’S TURN TO SPEAK. THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO FOCUS ON THEIR WORDS AND THE DETAILS OF THEIR PLANS. DEBATES ARE A CRITICAL TENANT IN OUR COUNTRY’S ELECTION PROCESS. YOU’RE NOT JUST WATCHING AS A SPECTATOR. YOU’RE WATCHING AS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN DEMOCRACY. AND WE’RE COMMITTED TO BEING YOUR TRUSTED SOURCE. LEADING UP TO ELECTION DAY. I’D LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU. EMAIL ME AT EDITORIALS AT KOCO DOT COM. THIS HAS
