YouTube III: Taking Advantage of the Medium

A question about Africa featuring African children is perhaps the first question that takes advantage of the medium--when you have to face an image of a person whose life is directly shaped by the policy.

On another issue, I'm watching on a big screen television, and the debate camera pans up to a large screen, about one-sixth of which is the YouTube screen. I can read the detail on the YouTube screen. I wonder if someone on a smaller television set can pick up the YouTube screen details. Perhaps CNN is opting for the smaller screen so as to dim any resolution/quality issues of the smaller image.

I would have to submit

I would have to submit evidence to the contrary. Edwards dodged the question about gay marriage and religious beliefs when it was presented to him on the video. He finally gave his honest opinion when the man was standing in the audience in front of him and when Anderson Cooper pressured him. I think it was the most honest moment in the entire debate and had the most impact and it came about not from the video itself but from having him there in physical form and Cooper moderating.
