This is really interesting. My favorite quote:

To minimize the risk, Bush negotiators insisted on a format that’s more a joint interview than a debate. They demanded that Kerry be confined to the space behind his lectern so he can’t interact with Bush or the audience. They tried to win assurances that TV cameras won’t show the other candidate’s reactions when his rival speaks.

It seems to me that this flies directly in the face of what this country stands for. This isn’t open and free media. This is a controlled outlet and not a true debate. Shouldn’t the people of this country be able to see a real debate? What’s Bush afraid of?
