The Brooklyn Paper and Brooklyn Independent Television’s “Debate Week” began with a barn-burner on the BCAT TV Network — and you can watch it right now by clicking above!.
The podcast includes a spirited forum, with all the candidates for the 33rd District seat: Isaac Abraham, Ken Baer, Doug Biviano, Ken Diamondstone, Steve Levin, Jo Anne Simon and Evan Thies.
The taping last week featured lots of fireworks — including moderator Gersh Kuntzman needing to nearly physically restrain Diamondstone as he hammered Simon on a question about gay marriage — and is certainly going to make for great TV.
You can also see all the action at www.bricartsmedia.org/BITspecials and the Community Newspaper Group’s new political Web site BoroPolitics.com.
“Debate Week” continues all week with these other candidate conflagrations:
• City Council District 39 (currently held by Bill DeBlasio): This debate was set to air on Tuesday, Aug. 18, but like this debate, it’ll be available online starting on Wednesday. Click back!
