An interesting finding is the importance of the agreed-upon institutional framework in regulating the course of debate. However, in practice, places of debate often lack such structure and increasingly (like in cable news) the supposed regulator of debate is in fact perpetuates polarization. Could you comment on both the lack of a guiding institutional framework and on the presence of a "straw-man" sort of framework?
