Viewing Tool Provides Scrutiny of Debate Footage

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.

A fact checker?

How Partisan! If the NYT weren't a damn liberal rag, it would provide a feeling checker next to the fact checker, for balance.

Remember, the conjugation/inflection is ATHY, ATHIER, ATHIEST.

"The soup is very athy today!"

"CNN is athier than Fox."

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the athiest of them all?"

"I want to use Obama as a tool for my car"

Me too - when my car won't start, I want to grab Obama by the ankles and swing him around to bash the hood of my car repeatedly. It won't make the car start, but I'll feel a lot better about the situation.
