This Week on MNN: New York takes the Stage
All eyes are to the east of us today, as the presidential candidates convene in the New York City suburbs of Long Island this evening for the first presidential debate. While the hotly anticipated event is speculated to draw more viewers than the Superbowl (and is arguably generating as much buzz as one), MNN’s your place to be tonight and the rest of the week, too. Tune in to MNN’s special coverage of the debate and its aftermath with “Democracy Now,” then stay with us the rest of the week for “The Facts,” “Gotta Run with Will,” and “GingerNewYork” for programming that will continue to challenge, entertain, and inspire.
