How Do You Watch Debates?

In 1960, John F. Kennedy beat Richard Nixon on style. In 1976, Gerald Ford insisted that there was no Soviet domination in Eastern Europe. And last week, Hillary Clinton responded to Donald Trump with a shoulder shimmy.

Presidential debates are important, especially in years where the election is close. Until this year, the debates were almost exclusively a broadcast television event. This year it has evolved to encompass the various ways we watch television. NPR reports.

Questions...

•Who has streamed a live event that was also on television?

•What do you look for in a presidential debate?

•What do you think is the fairest way to set up a debate (should the microphones always be on, should the candidates' height be equalized, should there be crowd reaction, etc.?)

•What is the role of the moderator? Should she/he fact check?

•Who should question the candidates: journalists, average voters or someone else?
