Here’s a nice way to watch a debate (well, as long as your brain is good at multi-tasking). CBC.ca,
website of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, has developed a media
player that’s integrated with running commentary in a weblog format
(text, that is). The site had a team of veteran journalists providing
live analysis and fact-checking the candidates during last week’s
national political debate.

Here’s a screen grab of the media player in action. And here’s the media player itself.

According to CBC.ca editorial director Jonathan Dube, the website will be doing this again for the next national debates in January.
