By far the best forum for hearing from Obama and McCain without spin or distortion is the Saddleback Civil Forum. There was one hour with Barack Obama with questions covering many issues. (During this hour, McCain was kept in a room so he would not be able to hear any of the questions ahead of time.) And then there was a second hour with John McCain with the exact same questions. Neither candidate knew what would be asked before they came on.
MEDIA L.S.D. wants to make a special note of this excellent and fair format that provides clear information to Americans for use in comparing and evaluating the two candidates. Much thanks to Rick Warren for hosting this forum.
Check Youtube and follow the related links to hear the complete number of interview segments:
NOTE: If you have the time, listen to the entire 2 hours without cuts or compilations. That will give you the clearest picture.
By the way: Please don't be influenced by the fact that Obama's picture is in the video. He was interviewed first simply by a coin toss. One way the media attempts to manipulate people's feelings is they label a negative sounding word or title next to picture of one candidate, and a positive sounding word or title next to another candidate.
If someone were reporting this blog post, they would try to manipulate things this way: "MEDIA L.S.D. gives Award to Saddleback Presidential Forum" and then put the picture of the candidate of their preference being interviewed instead of showing both candidates and the moderator in a joint picture. That way the good feelings would go to their preferred candidate. The words "presidential" and "award" would then be associated with the one candidate over the other.
