A final viewership estimate from the Nielsen company was not immediately available on Tuesday. But preliminary estimates from 11 of the networks that carried the debate totaled 81.4 million viewers, which would topple a record that had stood for 36 years.The previous record for presidential debate viewership was the 80.6 million people who saw the only debate in 1980 between incumbent Democrat Jimmy Carter and his Republican challenger Ronald Reagan.AP

Indeed, while polls found that Clinton had won the first general-election debate with Donald Trump on Monday, she may not have won actual votes. And she may even have lost some, at least in the battleground state of North Carolina.In a focus group of 21 voters from around Charlotte conducted by McClatchy and The Charlotte Observer, four who had been up for grabs before the debate had moved away from her by the end.

Republican Donald Trump’s performance in the first presidential debate on Monday night was likely to bolster his supporters, but risked turning others off, interviews with undecided voters and experts in both parties said.WSJ

In the 1930s, when teens Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were coming of age, jobs were scarce, Nazis were on the rise in Europe, and the KKK was terrorizing innocent American families. The world needed a hero, one who would fight for the rights of all people, stomp out oppression, and restore hope. Together they created the character Superman, who became an enduring figure in comic books, newspapers, radio, television, and movies, as well as a force for real, positive change.Superman's influence was never more groundbreaking than in the spring of 1946. Millions of children and adults tuned their radios to the Adventures of Superman radio show entitled "Clan of the Fiery Cross," crafted from secret information given to the show's producers by spies inside the Klan Scholastic

For nearly a decade during the 1940’s, Stetson Kennedy infiltrated and informed on the criminal activities of the Ku Klux Klan, taking their secrets to the airwaves through the Super Man Radio Show and testifying in court against the Klan. Kennedy reported those experiences in his book, The Klan Unmasked, published first in England and decades later by University Presses of Florida. He ran as a write-in candidate for the U.S. Senate in 1950 on a platform of “not white supremacy but right supremacy.”

Do Debates Matter? http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/do-debates-matter/

Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan said officers found no gun on Crutcher or in his SUV, which was stopped in the middle of 36th Street North just west of Lewis Avenue.Officer Betty Shelby fired a single shot at close range that video footage released Monday indicates hit Crutcher in the upper right chest. Another officer, Tyler Turnbough, deployed his Taser at almost the same time Shelby — who did not have a Taser — used her service weapon.“I want to assure our community, and I want to assure all of you and people across the nation who are going to be looking at this, we will achieve justice, period,” Jordan said.He called the videos "very disturbing" and "very difficult to watch." Tulsa World

Speaking to reporters outside the Tulsa County Courthouse on Tuesday afternoon, Benjamin Crump, who is representing the dead man’s family, said that a streak of Crutcher’s blood on the glass, visible in a still image taken from the helicopter video, proved that the car window was closed when he was shot.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) demanded that Stumpf explain why he had not offered to give up any of his compensation — he made $19 million last year — or resigned in the wake of the scandal. She noted that Stumpf repeatedly touted Well Fargo’s ability to sell more and more products to customers in quarterly calls with analysts, and then watched as investors pushed up the bank’s stock price, generating gains that increased his own holding by about $200 million over several years.How many people at Wells Fargo are going to jail? Zero. But if you smoke marijuana in this country, you get a criminal record.— Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) September 20, 2016.@SenWarren is right: "The only way that Wall Street will change is if executives face jail time when they preside over massive frauds.”WP

Senator Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican, said it would be “malpractice” if the bank did not claw back executive compensation.NYT

Chief ExecutiveJohn Stumpf, appearing before the Senate Banking Committee, apologized numerous times for allegedly illegal sales practices, but was met with rancor from legislators on both sides of the political aisle over his bank’s conduct.WSJ
