Video From Behind the Scenes in the Media Filing Room

So, I was finally able to go on the behind the scenes tour.

Click here to see video of the media filing room. This is where the members of the press that came into town for the debate watched the entire debate.

CNN offered snacks for reporters and free wireless Internet so that they could send their stories to the news organizations that sent them here to cover this event.

No Volume

Posted by Kristen Ruby on November 16, 2007

As Ben Rowley, various other press and I sit in the filing room, with numerous plasmas all around us, we can’t hear the debate.  There is no volume as we sit watching the candidates file on to the stage.  I guess we will have to judge the candidates’ answers by the audience reactions.

Alas the reason for the muteness.  A CNN employee just announced that we can’t hear the debate yet because this part of the debate is not being aired on CNN.  CNN has denied us volume for the time being.
