Premature Publication

The Boston Globe climbs into their time machine and files a report from the future on tonight’s debate: Bush and Kerry meet in first of three debates with Kerry needing to make up ground. (Hat tip: gm33.)

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) After a deluge of campaign speeches and hostile television ads, President Bush and challenger John Kerry got their chance to face each other directly Thursday night before an audience of tens of millions of voters in a high-stakes debate about terrorism, the Iraq war and the bloody aftermath.

The 90-minute encounter was particularly crucial for Kerry, trailing slightly in the polls and struggling for momentum less than five weeks before the election. The Democratic candidate faced the challenge of presenting himself as a credible commander in chief after a torrent of Republican criticism that he was prone to changing his positions.

Maybe it should go into the broken news.

It's still sloppy and bad form to publish news about a future event before it happens.

Given this is a debate and not a speech, and the questions are unknown, their answer in BS.
