Debate links: some from mediamatters.org, and from this Metafilter thread, which is absolutely chockablock with worthwhile links. I'm not even including the one where James Stockdale explains 'Who am I? Why am I here?' Okay, yeah I am.

But here's Tavis Smiley commentator Connie 'not to be confused' Rice's Top 10 Secrets They Don't Want You to Know About the Debates. And here's a recent Bill Moyers transcript. I've gushed before about C-SPAN's coverage of this election, so let me just say here that when wildly underfunded public broadcasters do a better job reporting than megaconglomerates with virtually unlimited resources, well, you don't need a dead canary to tell that something's seriously wrong.

And some FAIR articles: The Compromised Commission on Presidential Debates, and Presidential Debates Are Duopoly by Design. And, from opendebates.org, here is the redundantly-titled Deterring Democracy: How the Commission on Presidential Debates Undermines Democracy. Ooh, and, lest I forget, the 32-page Memorandum of Understanding (on Kerry and Bush's sites) and the Committee on Presidential Debates list of 'national sponsors.'

Ooh, and a transcript.
