Hulu Streaming Presidential Debates Online

by Greg on October 7, 2008

It’s not incredibly difficult to watch major political events online, but a new contender is entering the mix; paidContent.org reports that Hulu.com, the joint venture between Fox and NBC, will be live-streaming the final two presidential debates between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barak Obama.  The debates air tonight, October 7th and October 15th.  You can watch the debates here.

This is a significant move for Hulu, which until now had content only after it had been broadcast on television.

Hulu has also put together a page with video from their site relating to the 2008 election, which includes bona fide political content from debates and news programming, alongside commentary, both the serious, and not comical, with clips from The Daily Show, The Soup and Late Night with Conan O’Brien.
