Abstract: Examines the types of arguments used in newspaper editorials about presidential debates. Advances three claims about argumentative criteria employed in declaring winners: editorials contain the same flaws media critics find in the debates themselves; the press uses debate criteria which it admits are flawed; and ineffectual argumentative criteria demean the role of presidential debates in the political process.
