This service, provided by the Internet Archive, is designed to help citizens better understand the issues and candidates of the 2012 elections by allowing them to search closed-captioning transcripts from more than 350,000 broadcasts and to borrow relevant television news programs on request.

This is an excellent resource for students interested in referencing current event commentary and coverage, for research papers and/or for personal interest.
