Broadcast Media Has Trouble Analyzing Presidential Debate For Voters
An article entitled "Third Presidential Debate Substantive, If Not Exactly Entertaining" in the October 18, 2004 issue of the weekly web magazine News Informant details the differences between the two 2004 presidential candidates, Republican President George W. Bush and Democratic challenger, Sen. John F. Kerry, as expressed in the third presidential debate last Wednesday, October 13. The article explains that both candidates carefully outlined their positions on a broad range of issues. These included foreign policy, immigration, social security, education, affirmative action, the economy and taxation. The result were not "gaffes" or "knockout punches" that the media believes make good entertainment. But the issue differences, if properly explained, allow the voters to make informed a decision."The broadcast media had grudgingly come to the understanding that the debates would not be great drama," according to News Informant editor, Bernard Perlstein. "Yet they still spent more time trying to ask, after the last debate, ‘who won?' rather than flesh out the stated differences of the two candidates," he added.The News Informant article, instead, analyzes the contrasting positions of the two candidates over the spectrum of issues. The article clarifies, in particular, the problems with the two candidates' proposals for maintaining the current level of social security benefits, and takes much of the media to task for failing to evaluate the President's same proposal when he was a candidate in 2000."The media provided ‘fact checkers' to dispel individual incorrect facts mentioned by either candidate during the debate," commented Perlstein. "But there was no discussion of the ramifications of stated policies for the benefit of the average voter, who has little time to spend in thinking through these issues. That's a shame," according to Perlstein.The News Informant article in its entirety, and its sources, can be found on the web at: http://www.newsinformant.com/articles/2004_10_18/000838.php.
