Debate Video Pool Done By Fox Tonight

I just missed the C-CSPAN anchorwoman explaining the difference between C-SPAN's split screen coverage and other network's alternating camera shots. I'm not going to waste time surfing on other networks, but if FOX is providing the camera work, I wonder if all the networks have to use their cuts. I wouldn't be surprised if one could read some bias from something as simple as which candidate or audience member the camera focuses on at any given moment.

"Which is why the whole spin thing which is going to happen in this room behind me tonight is such a waste of time and effort," --Barabak on the fact that most people already know who they're voting for. So maybe it doesn't matter.
