Debate Trap: Fox News is running the cameras for this debate.
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=politicsNews&storyID=6370562

Fox News Channel, whose turn it is under a rotation system to operate the "pool" cameras for all the networks in the first debate on Thursday in Coral Gables, Florida, said it would follow its own editorial judgment in operating its cameras.

"They don't want reaction shots," said Fox News spokesman Paul Schur told Reuters. "We're not going to bow to outside pressure. We're not going to follow these restrictions."

His comments were echoed by executives of cable news rival CNN and the Big Three commercial broadcasters -- ABC, CBS and NBC -- all of which plan to mix their own production from the feeds supplied by Fox News.

1. Kerry know this too
He has some pretty good advisors so I'm sure that they have figured out how to work this to their advantage.
