Vice Presidential Debate

After watching the Vice Presidential debate I went to several news sources. CBS seemed to believe that both Biden and Ryan held their own. The news network stated that the Republicans will say that Biden came on too strong and was bullying Ryan while Democrats will say that Biden knew more than Ryan about topics of the US economy and taxes. CBS did make a comment about how Ryan did discuss a lot about people close to him but not about Americans as a whole. CBS gave a well rounded impression of the debate. They discussed what both individuals did best and worst. This station I believe gave a well rounded view of the candidates and allows voters see both sides. Fox News pushed Ryan doing well at the debate and that Biden was too aggressive and was bullying Ryan. Fox news compared Biden to Richard Nixon and agreed that that it was good for Ryan to be compared with Jack Kennedy. The news station agreed that Ryan did well to bring up the terrorist attack in Cairo. My impression of this station is that it pushed the Romney/Ryan ticket and that it seemed to be biased to one side.

Third Presidential Debate

CBS stated that Romney tried to stay away from the foreign affairs questions. Romney stated that he agreed on decisions what Obama has done with foreign policies. Obama seemed to push what Romney has done in the past. CBS also stated that Obama had to change what he said about Al Kida being on their heels to Al Kida not being as strong as it once was. The news source several comments about how both Obama and Romney did on six major moments of the debate. The news source stated that both individuals did well and they was no clear winner. This source helped to so both strengths and weakness in both parties issues. It gave will rounded analysis of items discussed about the debate and I believe that it helped to show both parties in a good light.
