Another reason FNC should not be running debates ...
<snip>

33 minutes. Hume says we are going to take a break for commercials. Commercials? MSNBC didn't do commercials for the first two debates. But this is Fox News. Rupert Murdoch wants to own the Wall Street Journal. Capitalism and all that. Democracy is brought to you by Health Mart Pharmacies. Smart Balance Buttery Spread. Days Inn. Plavix.

70 minutes. Another commercial break. AARP. Franklin Templeton Investments. Doubletree Hotels. E-Loan. Then Fox's Sean Hannity appears on-screen, doing his best interpretation of Ryan Seacrest. Viewers can text the number on the screen, he says, to vote for which candidate they think won the debate.
