| I remember when conventions were actually broadcast without a monkey squad of nitwits |
|
talking over the ENTIRE goings on in the background. They just use the convention as a background to talk about all the things that they think are important at the convention, without actually even showing it.

| 7. I remember those days too. |
|
The only time an anchor or newsperson came in was during a lull, maybe to recap, and maybe to fill in some history, but never to be the show instead of the convention.

| 11. That was before the corporations made news a profit center |
|
It used to be that the news divisions were considered a part of a necessary public service to maintain their licenses with the FCC.

Showing live gavel-to-gavel coverage on Ch 211. I watched MSNBC for about
15 minutes before I remembered to switch.
