Decades ago, Marshall McLuhan said that "the medium is the message." If I judge the third presidential debate by the "messages" that were communicated in the verbal content as well as by the communication style of each candidate, here's what I heard/saw:
One candidate came across as confident but humble.
The other came across as over-confident and boastful.
One candidate seemed smart and in control of facts.
The other seemed smart-alecky and more interested in attacks.
One candidate appeared calm and presidential.
The other appeared agitated and desperate.
Do you recognize who's who? Have I exaggerated? Am I biased? Probably a little.
