尼克森与甘乃迪的辩论:19601021

第三场辩论是首次的「电子辩论」 (electronic debate) 。两位候选人分别在美国东、西岸发话:甘乃迪在纽约的摄影棚里发言,尼克森在洛杉矶。第四场辩论主要的焦点是外交政策议题。这场大辩论很重要吗?民调专家估计大约有340万位选民根据候选人在辩论时的表现,决定他们的选票要投给谁。这个里程碑也让广播媒体成为美国政治过程中的一个重要角色。


The third debate was the first genuine "electronic debate." The two candidates faced off from opposite coasts--Kennedy spoke from a television studio in New York and Nixon from Los Angeles. The fourth debate focused on foreign policy issues. Were the "Great Debates" significant? Pollsters estimated that approximately 3.4 million voters made their choice of party candidate on the basis of the debates alone. The milestone event thrust the broadcasting media into a central role in the American political process.
