anti coverage you've seen/heard????

I was totally fed up in 2000 and didn't watch either convention.

Thinking back to the 60s conventions and later, I don't remember such one-sided coverage.

additional question........when did TV stop covering conventions 'gavel to gavel'????????

1. It's all about punditry now
I figured they'd show some of the afternoon speeches. There are some notable members of Congress, like Kendrick Meek, speaking now.

The only people they seem to care about are Gore, Clinton, and Carter.

3. Yeah, imagine you were there in person-you wouldn't hear
all that extra crap, just the people speaking and be immersed in the crowd. It's like a giant pep rally-you wouldn't be listening to the RW spoilers if you were there in person.

4. Yeah, each is worse than the one before
I can't believe how hard all the media are campaigning for Smirk this year. When the boy idiot provokes a war on US soil, I hope these whores get a little introspection and put a large portion of the blame on themselves.
