FOX NEWS RUNNING THE CAMERA POOL at the DEBATES Tonight The press pool rotates who runs the cameras at the various events. Tonight, Fox News just happened to win the spin. Gives new meaning to "TV networks are flexing their muscles, saying they won't be bound by rules set by the Bush and Kerry campaigns that would prevent split-screen and reaction shots and require cameras to stay fixed on the candidate speaking."
He who controls the perception of the populace, wins.

That story, when combined with the knowledge that Fox controls the cutaways tonight. Who wants to bet you'll see dozens of scowls on Kerry's face while Bush speaks and zero from Bush while Kerry talks?
