I was listening on the radio- had other work to do. Thought there weren't supposed to be any reaction shots?
i had heard Brit Hume say, during the predebate show, that the networks had not agreed to that...
Even on Fox there were plenty of shots of Bush side by side with Kerry. In each, Bush was looking at Kerry with disdain and anger. I dont know if he was pissed at what Kerry was saying about him or whether Bush just couldnt believe that he had to debate someone so tototally unqualified for the Presidency. But hearing parts of the debate later on the radio, Bush actually made sense in some parts where he was flayling on TV.
The campaigns asked the networks not to use reaction shots, the networks promptly told them to go take a flying leap and that they would shoot the debate as they saw fit.
