Choose your TIVO channel for the Debates -proof needed

I am concerned that if * makes mistakes at the debates they will erase all entries from all the websites.

I may be paranoid but I think we need to cover all bases.

Already, Fox is in total control of all the cameras for tomorrow's debate( I'm still in deep shock from that one.)

I think we should also get a variety of tapes/TIVO's ready for all the pre and post debate program. For example, Tavis Smiley will have a Debate Program on PBS.

Am I the only paranoid one out there?

1. Don't be surprised about the pool feed
They drew lots among the 5 WH nets and Fox got the first one. ABC and NBC get the next two.

My experience has been that the pool feed is usually on the up and up since the shot is controlled primarily by the technicians, who generally don't have a political ax to grind, not the editorial staff.

Nevertheless, we should keep a close eye on them - just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get us. :-)

4. How much do camera people make?

Fox news has the best liars in front of and behind the camera.

We are in for big trouble tomorrow unless our talking pts. people say it loud at every opportunity - Fox News owns this debate.

2. What about audio feeds?
Will there be other mics there not controlled by FOX for audio feeds?

5. The audio feeds will probably be taken directly
from the multbox that will be set up by the sound vendor hired by the debate sponsors. Fox won't have anything to do with the audio - they'll take their audio feed from the same multbox that the others use.
