Looking beyond the logistical problems posed by a panel of journalists, critics have also criticized the actual questions asked by the panelists. More than a few commentators have lamented that the journalists on the panels tend to trip over their egos in their eagerness to ask their own questions leaving gaps and evasions in the previous answer without a follow-up. Even campaign officials and political consultants have questioned whether political debates involving panels of journalists truly produce any useful information. Although criticism of the panel format has been widespread for years, it took the 1992 campaign to break with tradition and adopt a new format.
