Why haven't we been shown the conference yesterday by all our Democrats?
Why do we bother really? Did they have one today, and we just don't know it?

Why is Judy Miller getting all day airtime on C-Span, and they have not even listed the Democratic Press Conference held at the DNC yesterday? Here is one of the pictures at Yahoo, just to show us the press conference really happened. Here is the C-Span schedule for tonight.

OR, maybe CNN or MSNBC carried it and I missed it? You never know. :shrug:

Here are the caption and pic from Yahoo.
U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) speaks during a news conference after Democratic leaders from Capitol Hill and across America met at the Democratic National Committee Headquarters in Washington November 10, 2005. Looking on from the left is Demcratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. The leaders met to discuss the party's strategy for success at the mid-term elections scheduled for 2006.

Does this bother anyone else? That our Democrats had a very large conference, and the media did not carry it?

1. It bothers me a great deal.
I remember one female Democratic Rep saying about an earlier press conference that they were speaking to empty chairs because not a single member of the press had bothered to show up.

But CNN will show us Rove preaching to a choir of rightwing lawyers.

Bleah.

2. Judith Miller and sources conference is getting played twice tonight.
Yet they can not even cover this conference.

I notice at the Dean/Richardson conference at C-Span there was a fairly good group of reporters.
