It'll be interesting to see how the media sides with certain candidates after tonight's debate. I believe it was a fairly interesting debate that millions of people watched and it just showed us what we already knew. Hillary was going to attack Trump and Trump was going to return the favor. Trump was on his heels for a large portion of the debate, but he had a few zingers thrown in there. Depending on which news network you watch in the coming days, you will hear differing opinions on who won, and why. Fox News will probably tell us that Trump kept his cool and did what he had to do while CNN will tell us that Hillary was very presidential and showed the temperament that our commander in chief will need to display. You need to watch the debate to form your own opinion and mainly listen to the mass media's analysis for other's points of view; don't let them formulate your thoughts for you.

  1. Following the conclusion of the debate last night, I think what was most interesting is the way in which the political pundits interacted. After watching the post-debate analysis on both Fox News and CNN, it was clear to see which side the punditry was favoring. I did, however, enjoy the CNN segment that fact-checked both candidates and they did not favor either candidate in that analysis.
