What do I think? After reading NPRs fact check of the third presidential debate I maintain a different mindset than when I first endured the debate of our two presidential candidates.

I’m a cameraman, and tonight I worked at WBBM Studios in Chicago, where the first presidential debate took place between Vice President Nixon and Senator Kennedy. This first debate has turned into a big deal. The whole setup for the debate was really brand new, since the television networks all gave an hour of free time—no commercials.
