Other trending topics reflect the signs of the times: in the debates of the 80's, social security topped the issues; the 90's focused on crime; from 2000-2009, national security reigned; and from 2010 to present, the middle class took center stage. Veritone leveraged its innovative and proprietary CMP to search and analyze a wide spectrum of broadcast media for the issues most mentioned in prior Presidential debates since 1980. The infographic here illustrates the findings. This new AI search technology also analyzed broadcast media to identify the 'Most Memorable' debate moments. Top moments include great quips from Presidet Reagan during the Reagan/Mondale debate in 1984, as well as from Ross Perot during the 1992 Presidential debate, and you can see these memorable moments here.
