CarolinaTiger 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 The networks are balking at some of the agreed upon restrictions the candidates have come up w/. It would be fine by me if the candidates said, "ok", no debate. the news networks are claiming 'journalistic standards". regardless of which side of this issue you fall on, once again, the NEWS PEOPLE are as much of the news as the things upon which they are to be reporting. ct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCTAU 3,336 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Put it on PBS only. They can only afford one camera anyway. As long as we don't get sick from the camera swinging from side to side. And during the breaks, PBS can ask for money and try to sell you copies of the debate with the swinging edited out.

Tiger in Spain 0 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Kerry's people have already threatened to bring screwdrivers in to disconnect the time limit lights that have been installed. It seems he finds them too distracting when he attempts to babble on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydubb121 22 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Calling these dual press conferences "debates" is a joke. I can't believe I agree with the networks. The two camps have ruined the spirit of a debate with all their rules and limitations. True debaters will cringe when they see this spectacle tonight. The undecided voter won't hear anything but the same old stump speech. A real waste of everyone's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger12 46 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I think Rush had a good term for the debates. He called them a 90 minute special edition of "Meet the Press". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
