Memorandum of Understanding

I will be writing a column on the debate tonight, probably focusing on the restrictive format of the debate itself.

You may have heard about the so called “memorandum of understanding,” a document signed by the representative of the Bush and Kerry campaigns that lays down strict guidelines for the candidates but also how the networks are supposed to cover it.

This document is so ridiculous it may be worth a closer look. Is this what democracy should be like?
