---------- Forwarded message ---------- So cbs is saying they have no plans to use Twitter feedback post debate in their analysis or post debate coverage. That may not ge true on what they separately post on cbsn or cbsnews.com. The post debate release issue did not come up and we can raise it just to chase this to ground On Nov 4, 2015, at 10:44 AM, Teddy Goff <tgoff@hillaryclinton.com> wrote: I spoke to Charlie both before and after his meeting with CBS and have to say I am actually not overly concerned by the current plan. My understanding is that they acknowledge Twitter discussion is not a statistically valid measure of public opinion and accordingly will not be doing the thing that would have really put us at a disadvantage, which is running some sort of sentiment tracker in the chyron as if it were a dial test. If they want to pull curated tweets into the video player on their website and use Twitter to source questions, I think that is fine; the former is no big deal and the latter not materially different than taking questions from the audience or anyone else. Charlie, one thing I neglected to ask about yesterday, that we might want to follow up with them on, is their post-game plans. Are we assured that they are not going to do some sort of joint release after the fact highlighting Twitter reactions and positioning them as an indicator of who won the debate? Regardless, we should still of course do our best to influence the Twitter discussion just as we would with any other debate. I agree with Jen that there is little we can do to move the masses. Frankly, the single best thing we can do on that front is try to encourage WJC's team to tweet from his account as often as they are willing to during the debate -- adding Sara here to see if there is any room for us to do that. The fact that this is all happening on a Saturday night is an interesting wild card that I would guess probably plays to our advantage, in that a lot of the young Bernie crowd may be out and about and not watching.
