The American Media is a disgrace.
I don't understand why 1 hour of coverage a night on 3 of the 4 nights is acceptable. I just don't get it. Both conventions should be given a few hours a night so people can watch and learn. Then you go to cable and it's all attack, fight and bullshitting. This country is doomed.

Yep, we're at war with the media
It's a disgrace the way they get their jabs in. No way will that happen during the Rep convention. They'll all be kissing their asses. Hope there's a huge demonstration in NY this August. I'm so sick of this.

1. We OWN the networks
IMO they should show every hour of BOTH conventions so all Americans can be as informed as they SHOULD be.

3. Because they spent all their money on Sitcoms...
which are far more important than the presidential campaign coverage.

4. Disgrace seems to kind a word.
What makes me ill is how they pat themselves on the back, "We make both sides angry, so we MUST be doing our job!" If that is their basis for success, I didn't realize how stupid they were.
