Viewing Tool Provides Scrutiny of Debate Footage

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the everything-under-a-magnifying-glass dept.

The New York Times has an interesting tool for reviewing the debate. Alongside the actual video, there is a transcription (which you can click on to go to that section of the video), a search tool (that counts the number of usages by each candidate), a topic segmentation view, and even a fact checker that links to corrections.

    Thank you Anonymous Coward. I was on the fence before, but your post has convinced me to finally convert to Atheism! I can't thank you enough sir. Your insightful, non-judgmental, articulate post is a shining beacon into this dismal hell where we all live!

    The fact that it's so accurate actually stops me from laughing.
