we'll be watching the debate with the rest of the viewers. we have a good data base of things we know about, what they like to talk about and we have a bunch of staff prepared to fact check when they say something we know to be either a stretch of the truth or require more context. we'll be able to write a quick item about that. we'll be publishing some. >> of course, if you sign on to our website, you'll be able to watch it as it happens, paul. we talked about this before. the fact is, facts are not the big thing this year. with so much lying going on, voters don't seem to care as much about what is true and what's not. >> it's an issue of knew wans, that's the thing. it's very rare that someone will come out and say you are an elephant, because clearly you aren't an elephant, but there's all kinds of issues. if obama says i cut a trillion dollars in spending, sure, but you have done that by eliminating wars. what's true, what's not true is vague and it's not that it moves voters a lot unless somebody comes out and says something dramaticall
