Vice President Debate Vice President Joe
Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan meet for the first and only Vice Presidential
debate Thursday, October 10. Stakes are high for Biden, who has
to do damage control for Pres. Obama's performance during the first
presidential debate. Ryan's challenge will be in how well he
represents the GOP's plan and whether he can capitalize on Romney's
recent success.
Gary Knell There was no mention in last
night's debate, of funding cuts to PBS - but when Mitt Romney
suggested it during the first Presidential debate, Gary Knell surely must have said "what?".
He's the man who for 12 years was CEO of Sesame Workshop, expanding
Sesame Street worldwide. Less than a year ago, he moved to
public RADIO and became NPR's President and CEO. Today, Gary
Knell is in our studio … the President of National Public
Radio.
