If you don’t have a cable subscription, you won’t be able to watch tonight’s Republican Presidential debate on Fox News.Which feels so 20th century. But if you’re a cordcutter who’s really desperate, we might humbly suggest you try Periscope.
People are already streaming the “kids’ table” version of the Presidential debates on Periscope now. The main event starts at 9pm ET. And if you can stomach the shakiness, the fuzziness, and perhaps the strange commentary from your host, there are plenty of feeds out there from amateur pirates.

A quick search of Twitter shows plenty of hits. And if Fox News isn’t going to get with the 21st century, they’re going to have to play Whack-A-Mole with amateur video feeds until they give people viable alternatives. It’s simply too easy to run your own pirate TV station these days.
