The TPP debate reminds me of what NAFTA did in the last decade. I remember the 2005 JibJab - Big Box Mart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKv6RcXa2UI video explaining the whole sad situation.

From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
If Bernie approached public TV in a state with a Republican candidate with an offer to debate said candidate, that would be an irresistible offer to the benefit of the station and would be a put up or shut up to the Republicans. Cross party debate is a brilliant idea which can break Bernie out of the corporate media imposed straight jacket.
