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.

    The fact checking is something I wish they would do live during the debate. Maybe a ticker at the bottom.

    Still, this is a step in the right direction!
