Those in the know are recommending that viewers watch Monday night’s first presidential debate on C-SPAN, which is free of commentary — no spin, no hype, and minute after minute of Lester Holt adjusting his microphone before go time.

And Lester Holt knows his mic is live, right? Or not?

Watching C-Span to avoid the pundits. On the other hand, listening to Lester Holt breathe is a little weird. #Debates2016

6 minutes until the debate. C-span has live coverage of Lester holt's mouth noises and mic adjustments. What I live for. #debatenight

Such scintillating action: all the breathing, coughing, and sipping noises you'd ever wanna hear from Lester Holt. #DebateNight

This @cspan feed was nothing but Lester Holt stomach/throat noises for the past 10 minutes
