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.
