Article...CNN: Gore's Panel Bigger in Debate Oct 6, 2000 5:42 PM politicslive.com NEW YORK (AP) - CNN's split-screen images during this week's presidential debate gave Vice President Al Gore a slightly bigger portion of the screen than Gov. George W. Bush, the network acknowledged Friday. Like other networks covering the face-off, CNN mostly gave Bush and Gore equal treatment. But the network said that, during intermittent use of a split-screen image to display both candidates simultaneously, it mistakenly made Gore's panel about 6 percent larger than Bush's. ``It was certainly unintentional,'' CNN spokeswoman Sue Binford said. ``Technicians made the adjustments they had to make, and it won't happen again.'' The split-screen format, with Gore seen on the left at his lectern and Bush on the right, was used during about 13 minutes of the 95-minute debate. A former TV-station engineer detected the difference and e-mailed an alert to Bush headquarters, the New York Post reported. Binford called the disparity ``a technical glitch'' that went unnoticed during airtime at the network. It drew no complaints from viewers, she added. An estimated 3.2 million people watched the debate on CNN.

Michael, I am not the smartest guy that has come down the pike but my greatest frustration is trying to understand how any reasonable and prudent person could support Gore. He, in my opinion, doesn't represent any of the values we honor and feel have made America great. His ego and propensity to lie will keep him and us in hot water. The knowledge that he thinks government should be the end-all for micromanaging society is scary. I feel we would be shocked if we could just imagine what his goal really is as far as the taxation level he would like, the programs he aspires to, the micromanaging of our industry and society he feels should come from he and his government team. In my opinion, this election is critical to save America from slip-sliding down the slippery slope to socialism and confiscatory taxation and regulation. Also, I think we will become even more of a International, United Nations type government with less and less national rule regarding trade and defense. I think Clinton has aspirations for a one world order and I think he has great influence over Gore. Clinton loves the United Nations approach to military action.
