At least about the media giving the debate to whistle ass. The first polling after the debate had Gore winning and widening his lead. Bush jr. moved into a lead after the press bashed Gore for days for doing the same things they had praised him for against Ross Perot & Bill Bradley.
a story in some newsmagazine about how one of the lights over Gore's podium went out before the debate or something and this affected how he looked onscreen. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
11. I saw the debate on CNN, and Gore was bright orange.
Then I saw a rehash on Geraldo, and he looked normal. Geraldo of course was on MSNBC then, but that doesn't mean the clip he showed was from MSNBC.
My theory was that some networks - including CNN - had gimmicked the signal somehow to exaggerate Gore's skin tones. The data don't show that - and there really isn't enough date to prove anything.
Sorry - but I just got the urge to play detective.
