  4. Media Coverage by wayward · · Score: 4, Informative · on 10 Things To Know About The Upcoming Debates
    One frustrating thing about this restriction on debates is that it gives CPD a lot of power over media coverage, since they also control the media credentials. For example, I'm part of Independent Media Center, specifically, the U-C IMC. Essentially, media have to be credentialled by the CPD to even get into the debate, so I filled out the application (which made me specify my race and SSN, among other things).

    Monday, I got an email from them saying,

    To all recipients on this list:

    The Commission on Presidential Debates appreciates your interest in covering the debates. However, at this time, your application has been denied. Applications are declined due to security concerns, space limitations, or other reasons.

    Thank you,

    The Commission on Presidential Debates

    To the best of my knowledge, CPD didn't give credentials to any other Indy Media reporters either. So that means that we can't cover it, because we won't even be admitted to the event.

    Thanks! Actually, some people affiliated with UC-IMC did go to the RNC, and five were arrested for some rather dubious reasons. Here are a couple of related stories:

    We'll probably end up covering the protest events outside the debate. The basic plan will probably be keeping a relatively low profile and trying to avoid arrest. Our role is to report news, not create it. For anyone interested in the St. Louis Presidential Debate protests, the URL is http://www.stlo8.org.

  7. Media Credentials Denied for Debate by wayward · · Score: 2, Informative · on Real Presidential Debates
    As a bit of background, I'm involved in Indy Media, which essentially tries to provide alternatives to mainstream/corporately-owned media. Since I was hoping to cover the debate and some of the surrounding events, I applied for media credentials. Yesterday, I got the following email from the commission:

    To all recipients on this list:
